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 nearest projected erosion zone is 940 m (0.6 miles) from the postcode (by 2105, if defences are not maintained or built).
| 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) | 1 km (0.6 miles) |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | none (the line is held) | 1 km (0.6 miles) |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | up to 15 m | 940 m (0.6 miles) |
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.

No storm overflow outlet is within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode.

Traffic on nearby roads
The busiest counted road within 500 m (0.3 miles) is the A32 between B3333 and B3334, with 20,304 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 400 m (0.2 miles) from the postcode.

| A32 | B3333 to B3334 | 20,304 estimated; counted 2024 | 1% | +5% since 2015 | 400 m (0.2 miles) |
Each figure is the annual average daily flow: the motor vehicles passing the count point, both ways, on an average day of the year. A point is counted by hand on a weekday every few years and estimated from the trend on similar roads in between. Lorries are heavy goods vehicles, as a share of all motor vehicles.
