Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this postcode, 0 addresses are in areas at high risk, 0 at medium risk and 10 at low risk. Each address counts once, at the higher of its rivers-and-sea and surface-water risk.
Rivers and the sea alone: of the 24 homes the Environment Agency counts, 0 are in areas at high risk, 0 medium, 10 low and 0 very low.
High: 3.3% (1 in 30) or more chance of flooding a year. Medium: 1% to 3.3%. Low: 0.1% to 1%. Very low: under 0.1%. The rivers and sea figures allow for flood defences. Counts cover whole postcodes, which can include other streets.
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 postcode's centre is in land the coast is projected to erode by 2105, if defences are not maintained or built. Lenders and insurers may decline homes in an erosion zone, and no compensation is paid for land lost to the sea.
| Projection | Policy for the frontage | Erosion | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| By 2055, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | none (the line is held) | 30 m |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | none (the line is held) | 30 m |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | up to 35 m | Inside it |
Each shoreline management plan sets a policy for each stretch of coast: hold the line (keep defences where they are), managed realignment (let the shore move back in a controlled way), advance the line, or no active intervention. Erosion is the distance the shore may move back, counted from today, for the higher central climate change allowance. The maps are guidance from national modelling, not a survey of any one home; the council's coastal team can say more.
Storm overflows
5 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode spilled 44 times, for 59 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Portsmouth Harbour.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mumby Road Gosport Wps/Ceo Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 0 | 0 | 520 m (0.3 miles) |
| Harbour Road Gosport Ceo Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 1 | 1 | 620 m (0.4 miles) |
| St Matthews Square Gosport Ceo Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 0 | 0 | 620 m (0.4 miles) |
| The Anchorage Gosport Ceo Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 0 | 0 | 700 m (0.4 miles) |
| Pier Road Southsea Cso Southern Water; monitored 50% of the year | Portsmouth Harbour | 43 | 59 | 1 km (0.6 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.
Coal mining
No postcode centre here is in a coalfield: the Mining Remediation Authority records no coal mining risk here.
Radon
The postcode is in a 1 km square in the lowest band of radon potential: fewer than 1 home in 100 is estimated to be at or above the Action Level. It is not a radon Affected Area.
Gas and electricity use
Homes with gas used 3,020 kWh of it on average in 2024, 66% less than the district's 8,952 kWh, and 1,173 kWh of electricity, 62% less than the district's 3,092 kWh. There are gas meters for about 100% of the homes.
These are all the homes on the postcode, whatever their size and however many live in them, so they show the kind of homes and heating here rather than what any one home uses. The typical figure is the median: half the homes used less. The district is PO12.
Historic landfill
1 historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the postcode, the nearest 190 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Former Moat adjacent to Barracks Gosport, Hampshire | Not recorded | Household | 190 m |
Closed tips can give off gas (methane and carbon dioxide) and leak into the ground for years. An environmental search, which conveyancers usually order, looks at landfill and contaminated land around the home; the council keeps a register of land it has found to be contaminated.
Height above sea level
The postcode's 28 addresses are between 0 m and 3 m above sea level (2 m on average).
Broadband
Superfast 100%, ultrafast 100%, gigabit 100% of premises; 0% cannot get 10 Mbit/s. Ofcom Connected Nations, data as at January 2026.
