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
No projected coastal erosion zone is within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode.
Storm overflows
2 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode spilled 8 times, for 5 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Monktonmead Brook.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ashey Road Cso Southern Water | Monktonmead Brook | 4 | 2 | 430 m (0.3 miles) |
| Great Preston Road Cso Southern Water | Monktonmead Brook | 4 | 4 | 930 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.
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 7,394 kWh of it on average in 2024, 23% less than the district's 9,578 kWh, and 3,766 kWh of electricity, 18% more than the district's 3,179 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 PO33.
Historic landfill
1 historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the postcode, the nearest 210 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |

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 8 addresses are between 25 m and 27 m above sea level (26 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.
