Flood risk
No address in this postcode is in an area at high, medium or low risk of flooding from rivers, the sea or surface water. The rest are in areas at very low risk: less than a 0.1% (1 in 1,000) chance a year.
Rivers and the sea alone: no home is in an area at risk.
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 nearest projected erosion zone is 440 m (0.3 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) | 450 m (0.3 miles) |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | none (the line is held) | 450 m (0.3 miles) |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | up to 4 m | 440 m (0.3 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.
Storm overflows
4 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode spilled 47 times, for 110 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Hoeford Lake, Portsmouth Harbour, The Portsmouth Harbour.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hoeford Fareham Ceo Southern Water | Hoeford Lake | 16 | 61 | 360 m |
| Salterns Lane Fareham Ceo Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 4 | 2 | 700 m (0.4 miles) |
| Salterns Lane Fareham O/S 12 Cso Southern Water | The Portsmouth Harbour | 1 | 0 | 810 m (0.5 miles) |
| Fareham Road Gosport Outside 359Cso Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 26 | 47 | 840 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.
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 with radon potential up to 3 to 5%: up to that share of homes there is estimated to be at or above the Action Level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. At least part of the square is a radon Affected Area, where 1% or more of homes are.
Radon is a natural radioactive gas from the ground that can build up indoors; long exposure raises the risk of lung cancer. A three-month test with two small detectors is the only way to know a home's level, and a high level can usually be brought down with a sump or better ventilation. Homes built here in recent decades should have radon protection under the building regulations (basic protection from 3%, full protection from 10%). UKHSA sells a radon report for a single address from its detailed map at ukradon.org.
Gas and electricity use
The postcode does not have the 5 or more domestic meters needed for figures to be published.
Historic landfill
No historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the postcode.
Height above sea level
The postcode's 31 addresses are between 9 m and 11 m above sea level (10 m on average).
Broadband
Superfast 100%, ultrafast 92%, gigabit 92% of premises; 0% cannot get 10 Mbit/s. Ofcom Connected Nations, data as at January 2026.
