Energy projects nearby
No wind turbine or waste plant within 5 km (3.1 miles), and no solar farm, battery site or other project of 1 MW or more within 2 km (1.2 miles), of the street's postcodes, operating or planned.
Roadworks

Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 0 addresses are in areas at high risk, 0 at medium risk and 1 at low risk. Each address counts once, at the higher of its rivers-and-sea and surface-water risk.
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 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
The nearest projected erosion zone is 560 m (0.3 miles) from the street's postcodes (by 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out).
| Projection | Policy for the frontage | Erosion | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| By 2055, with the shoreline management plan carried out | No active intervention IoW | up to 38 m | 610 m (0.4 miles) |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | No active intervention IoW | up to 88 m | 560 m (0.3 miles) |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention IoW | up to 88 m | 560 m (0.3 miles) |
| Ground instability zone Fort Victoria Coast, Isle of Wight | Unstable cliffs or slopes where the ground has moved, with a margin for movement over the next 100 years | 540 m (0.3 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
6 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 86 times, for 390 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Unnamed Stream, The Solent, The Yar Estuary, Red Creek.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linstone Drive Cso Southern Water | Unnamed Stream | 4 | 2 | 220 m |
| Norton Wps Cso Southern Water | The Solent | 14 | 170 | 650 m (0.4 miles) |
| Norton Headworks Wps Southern Water | The Solent | 9 | 19 | 860 m (0.5 miles) |
| Norton Headworks Wps Southern Water | The Solent | 50 | 170 | 860 m (0.5 miles) |
| Kings Manor Ceo Southern Water | The Yar Estuary | 9 | 29 | 900 m (0.6 miles) |
| Norton Green Cso Southern Water | Red Creek | 0 | 0 | 910 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.

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.
