Flood zone for planning: no postcode centre is in flood zone 2 or 3.
Recorded floods
No recorded flood covers the centre of this postcode.
Recorded floods are where floodwater was seen or surveyed after a flood. Many floods were never mapped, an outline over a postcode's centre does not mean every home in it flooded, and homes outside one may have. Ask the seller whether the home itself has flooded.
Coastal erosion
The coastal erosion maps have not been loaded yet.
Storm overflows
2 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode spilled 2 times, for 10 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Nore Rithe/Emsworth Harbour, River Ems.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kings Road Emsworth Cso Southern Water | Nore Rithe/Emsworth Harbour | 2 | 10 | 670 m (0.4 miles) |
| Lumley Road Pumping Station Southern Water | River Ems | 0 | 0 | 810 m (0.5 miles) |
A storm overflow lets sewage diluted with rainwater into a river, stream or the sea when heavy rain overwhelms the sewers, so the spills here affect the water they run into, not homes. A spill is counted the regulators' way: a first 12 hours, then each 24 hours it goes on.

No postcode centre here is in a coalfield: the Mining Remediation Authority records no coal mining risk here.
