Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 5 addresses are in areas at high risk, 2 at medium risk and 0 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 12 homes the Environment Agency counts, 3 are in areas at high risk, 2 medium, 0 low and 7 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
1 recorded flood covered the centre of this street's postcodes, most recently in December 1978.
| When | Flood | Source and cause |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Dec 1978 | Not named | Overtopping of defences |
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 street's postcodes.
Storm overflows
No storm overflow outlet is within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes.
Coal mining
This postcode is in a coalfield, in a low risk area: coal was mined in the area, but no workings shallow enough to matter for building are recorded.
Conveyancers usually still order a coal mining search (CON29M) for a home in a coalfield.
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.
Historic landfill
No historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes.
Height above sea level
The street's addresses are about 8 m above sea level.

Water
This street's water is supplied by Yorkshire Water. The company gives the hardness and quality of the water at an address on its website.
Tap samples taken in its neighbourhood (1 sample, April 2025) had a median hardness of 270 mg/l as calcium carbonate: hard.
Soft water is under 50 mg/l, moderately soft 50 to 100, slightly hard 100 to 150, moderately hard 150 to 200, hard 200 to 300 and very hard over 300. Hard water is safe to drink; it leaves limescale in kettles, showers and boilers and needs more soap. Water companies take samples at randomly chosen taps across each supply zone, so a home near the edge of a zone can be supplied differently.

Climate, daylight and earthquakes
Monthly temperatures and rainfall, sunrise and sunset through the year, and earthquakes recorded nearby since 1970 are much the same across the area, so they are worked out once for North Yorkshire: see them on the North Yorkshire page.

Ofsted also registers 205 childminders and 32 home childcarers (nannies) in North Yorkshire. It does not publish their addresses, so they cannot be shown here; the council's family information service lists those taking children.

Crime within 250 m
No crimes recorded at anonymised points within 250 m in this period (North Yorkshire Police).
Policing
This street is policed by North Yorkshire Police. Of the 43,965 crimes it recorded in 2025/26 (April to March), 12.0% had led to someone being charged or summonsed to court, against 9.3% across England and Wales.
In the 12 months November 2025 to October 2026 it answered 92.5% of its 114,268 999 calls within 10 seconds, against a national target of 90% and 89.6% across England and Wales.
| Outcome | North Yorkshire Police | England and Wales |
|---|---|---|
| Charged or summonsed | 12.0% | 9.3% |
| Dealt with out of court (caution, community resolution, penalty notice) | 3.8% | 4.4% |
| Closed with no suspect identified | 25.9% | 37.8% |
| Closed: the victim did not support further action | 36.6% | 25.4% |
| Closed: suspect identified, but not enough evidence | 11.2% | 15.1% |
| Other outcomes (not in the public interest, transferred elsewhere) | 6.4% | 3.9% |
| No outcome yet (still under investigation) | 4.2% | 4.0% |
Each crime is counted under the outcome it had been given when the figures were taken, a few months after the year ended, so some recorded late in the year were still being investigated. Forces differ in the crimes they deal with (a city force has more shoplifting and fewer rural thefts), which changes these shares, so a difference from England and Wales is not by itself a measure of how well a force investigates. Fraud is not included: it is recorded nationally.
Road safety
No collisions in which someone was hurt were reported on and around the street in 2021 to 2025.
Only collisions in which someone was hurt and which the police were told about are here: damage-only collisions and near misses are not, and some injuries are never reported. Positions are recorded by the police, usually to within a few metres. Each year's figures are published the following September.
Traffic on nearby roads
No traffic count point is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes. The Department for Transport counts every motorway and A road and only a sample of minor roads, so a quiet residential street usually has none.

What this page cannot tell you
- Whether a particular house is at risk of flooding, subsiding or anything else: the flood map is a model of areas and there is no property-level data here.
- What a home is worth now: sales are historic prices for the homes that happened to sell.
- How safe the street is: crime points are moved to anonymised locations and many crimes are never reported; road collisions count only those in which someone was hurt and the police were told.
- Whether you would get a place at a school: distances are straight lines, not catchments.
- Who lives on the street now: census figures describe the small areas around it in March 2021, during a lockdown.
- How long a journey takes or how often anything runs: transport distances are straight lines to the nearest stops.
- Whether a GP practice is taking new patients, or a dentist new NHS patients.
- How loud a home is inside, or noise from industry, neighbours or smaller airfields: noise figures are models of road, rail and air traffic outside.
How each figure on this page is matched to the street and worked out: methodology.
