Energy projects nearby
2 energy projects near the street's postcodes.
| Project | Kind | Size | Stage | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derby Sewage Treatment Works Derby 09/10/01144 | Wind 2 turbines | 5 MW | Operational May 2014 | 220 m |
| Sinfin Lane Derby 05/09/00571 | Advanced Conversion Technologies | 7.5 MW | Operational Feb 2018 | 3.8 km (2.4 miles) |
Planned projects can change or not go ahead; search the planning authority's applications by the reference shown for the plans, conditions and any objections. 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, 1 address is in areas at high risk, 4 at medium risk and 6 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: at least one postcode centre is in flood zone 2. Zone 2 is between 0.1% and 1% a year from rivers (0.1% and 0.5% from the sea), ignoring defences.
| Postcode | Planning zone | Addresses at high / medium / low risk | Groundwater |
|---|---|---|---|
| DE21 7BR | zone 2 | 1 / 1 / 1 | unlikely |
| DE21 7UL | zone 2 | 0 / 0 / 3 | unlikely |
| DE21 7HW | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 1 / 1 | unlikely |
| DE21 7HZ | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 2 / 0 | unlikely |
| DE21 7BA | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 1 | unlikely |
Recorded floods
2 recorded floods covered 2 of the centres of this street's postcodes, most recently in December 1965 (Derwent; main river).
| When | Flood | Source and cause | Postcodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Dec 1965 | Derwent | Main river; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | DE21 7BA, DE21 7HZ |
| 1947 | Derwent | Main river; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | DE21 7BA, DE21 7HZ |
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 232 times, for 1,126 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into River Derwent.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alvaston Cso Severn Trent Water | River Derwent | 47 | 197 | 270 m |
| Green Lane Pumping Station Severn Trent Water | River Derwent | 53 | 295 | 420 m (0.3 miles) |
| Derby Road Cso Severn Trent Water | River Derwent | 37 | 56 | 470 m (0.3 miles) |
| Derby Sewage Treatment Works Severn Trent Water | River Derwent | 49 | 459 | 500 m (0.3 miles) |
| Anglers Lane Cso Severn Trent Water | River Derwent | 7 | 32 | 940 m (0.6 miles) |
| Off Stoney Gate Road Cso Severn Trent Water | River Derwent | 39 | 87 | 940 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 on the street is in a coalfield: the Mining Remediation Authority records no coal mining risk here.
Radon
The highest radon potential in the 1 km squares around the street's postcodes is 3 to 5%: up to that share of homes there is estimated to be at or above the Action Level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. At least part of that area is a radon Affected Area, where 1% or more of homes are.
By postcode centre: less than 1% (5); 3 to 5% (1).
Radon is a natural radioactive gas from the ground that can build up indoors; long exposure raises the risk of lung cancer. A three-month test with two small detectors is the only way to know a home's level, and a high level can usually be brought down with a sump or better ventilation. Homes built here in recent decades should have radon protection under the building regulations (basic protection from 3%, full protection from 10%). UKHSA sells a radon report for a single address from its detailed map at ukradon.org.
Historic landfill
2 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 100 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Megaloughton Lane Landfill Site Megaloughton Lane,Spondon,Derby,Derbyshire | from 2009 | Industrial, commercial, household | 100 m |
| Disused Canal Rear of Erewash Borough Council Depot, Spondon, Derby, Derbyshire | 1981 to 1986 | Inert, industrial | 360 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 52 addresses are between 38 m and 44 m above sea level (41 m on average); the ground rises about 5 m from the lowest to the highest.

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.

Traffic on nearby roads
The busiest counted road within 500 m (0.3 miles) is the A52 between A5111 and A6005 roundabout, with 38,729 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 400 m (0.2 miles) from the street's postcodes.
| Road | Between | Vehicles a day | Lorries | Ten years before | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A52 | A6005 to A52 | 13,058 estimated | 3% | +1% since 2015 | 130 m |
| A52 | A5111 to A6005 roundabout | 38,729 estimated; counted 2024 | 3% | -17% since 2015 | 400 m (0.2 miles) |
| A6005 | A5111 to Derby Road roundabout | 20,322 estimated; counted 2021 | 1% | +6% since 2015 | 440 m (0.3 miles) |

| A5111 | A6 Alvaston Bypass to A6 Shardlow Road | 30,677 estimated | 3% | 490 m (0.3 miles) |
Each figure is the annual average daily flow: the motor vehicles passing the count point, both ways, on an average day of the year. A point is counted by hand on a weekday every few years and estimated from the trend on similar roads in between. Lorries are heavy goods vehicles, as a share of all motor vehicles.

Postcodes on this 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.
