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 640 m (0.4 miles) from the postcode (by 2055, with the shoreline management plan carried out).
| Projection | Policy for the frontage | Erosion | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| By 2055, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line IoW | none (the line is held) | 640 m (0.4 miles) |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line IoW | none (the line is held) | 640 m (0.4 miles) |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention IoW | none (the line is held) | 640 m (0.4 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 96 times, for 231 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Trib of the Gunville Stream, Tributary of River Medina, Tributary of the River Medina, The River Medina.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heytesbury Pumping Station Southern Water | Trib of the Gunville Stream | 5 | 13 | 500 m (0.3 miles) |
| Dodnor Lane Cso Southern Water | Tributary of River Medina | 23 | 65 | 710 m (0.4 miles) |
| Fairlee Road Newport O/S 62 Cso Southern Water | Tributary of the River Medina | 58 | 137 | 780 m (0.5 miles) |
| The Quay Newport Ceo Southern Water | The River Medina | 10 | 16 | 900 m (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.

Each figure is the annual average daily flow: the motor vehicles passing the count point, both ways, on an average day of the year.
