Construction brings traffic for some months; once built, solar farms and batteries are usually quiet, while turbines and waste plants can be seen or heard further away.
Roadworks
No street works under way, planned or finished in the last three months on this street, in permits up to 31 October 2026.
Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 17 addresses are in areas at high risk, 31 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 47 homes the Environment Agency counts, 0 are in areas at high risk, 46 medium, 0 low and 0 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: at least one postcode centre is in flood zone 3. Zone 3 is a 1% (1 in 100) or greater annual chance of flooding from rivers, or 0.5% from the sea, ignoring defences.
| Postcode | Planning zone | Addresses at high / medium / low risk | Groundwater |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE17 7TX | zone 3 | 11 / 1 / 0 | unlikely |
| NE17 7TT | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| NE17 7TN | zone 3 | 0 / 8 / 0 | unlikely |
| NE17 7TR | zone 2 | 6 / 22 / 0 | unlikely |
Recorded floods
1 recorded flood covered 1 of the centres of this street's postcodes, most recently in November 2000 (Blackhall Mill; main river).
| When | Flood | Source and cause | Postcodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 Nov 2000 | Blackhall Mill | Main river | NE17 7TN |
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
6 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 52 times, for 171 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into River Derwent, Tongue Burn (Derwent), Derwent, Tongue Burn.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chopwell Road Cso Northumbrian Water | River Derwent | 5 | 2 | 50 m |
| Blackhall Mill Pumping Station Northumbrian Water; monitored 89% of the year | Tongue Burn (Derwent) | 3 | 0 | 100 m |
| Armonside Rd Connolly Terrace Cso Northumbrian Water | River Derwent | 22 | 99 | 120 m |
| Hamsterley Colliery Ps Northumbrian Water; monitored 90% of the year | Derwent | 21 | 70 | 280 m |
| Derwentside House Cso Northumbrian Water | Derwent | 0 | 0 | 570 m (0.4 miles) |
| South Terrace Cso (G003) Northumbrian Water | Tongue Burn | 1 | 0 | 690 m (0.4 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
4 of the street's 4 postcodes are 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
Every 1 km square the street's postcodes are in is 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
1 historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 350 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Terrace Chopwell Mill Road, Chopwell | Not recorded | Not recorded | 350 m |
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 street's 17 addresses are between 52 m and 54 m above sea level (53 m on average).
Broadband

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.
