Recorded floods
No recorded flood covers the centre of this street's postcodes.
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 184 times, for 668 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Trib of Biddulph Brook, Biddulph Brook, Gillow Shaw, Trib Biddulph Brk.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| O/S 57 Woodhouse Lane Cso United Utilities | Trib of Biddulph Brook | 27 | 45 | 280 m |
| Biddulph Wastewater Treatment Works United Utilities | Biddulph Brook | 79 | 138 | 340 m |

| Whitegates Pumping Station United Utilities | Biddulph Brook | 5 | 12 | 790 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
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
2 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 200 m away.

| Land West of Congleton Road, (A527), South of House Number 217 Sandbach, Cheshire | Not recorded | Not recorded | 490 m (0.3 miles) |

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Woodhouse Academy | Middle deemed secondary | 9–13 | 870 m (0.5 miles) | Good (Feb 2023, overall grade under the previous framework) | 80% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 11% at the higher standard (2025; 67% in 2024 and 61% in 2023) |
| Oxhey First School | Primary | 3–9 | 1.5 km (1 mile) | Outstanding (Sep 2023, overall grade under the previous framework) | None published |
| Kingsfield First School | Primary | 3–9 | 1.7 km (1.1 miles) | No published inspection | None published |
Exam results are from the Department for Education's school performance tables (Explore Education Statistics, Open Government Licence), for all pupils at each school. The middle school in England had 63% at the expected standard at the end of primary school (2025), Attainment 8 of 46.0 at GCSE (2026) and an A level average of C+ (2025). Attainment 8 adds up a pupil's grades in eight GCSEs, with English and maths counted twice (90 is the most), averaged over the school's pupils. Progress 8 compares pupils with others who had the same results at the end of primary school; it is not published for GCSEs in 2025 and 2026, as those pupils sat no primary tests during the pandemic. Small year groups swing from year to year, and figures for very small ones are withheld.

3 nurseries, pre-schools and clubs within 1.5 km (0.9 miles), the nearest 940 m (0.6 miles) from the middle of the street.

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.
