Energy projects nearby

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, 11 addresses are in areas at high risk, 0 at medium risk and 2 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 22 homes the Environment Agency counts, 10 are in areas at high risk, 0 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| EX2 9TF | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| EX2 9RJ | zone 3 | 2 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| EX2 9RH | zone 3 | 7 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| EX2 9RN | not in 2 or 3 | 2 / 0 / 2 | unlikely |
| EX2 9RU | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
Recorded floods
4 recorded floods covered 1 of the centres of this street's postcodes, most recently in April 1966 (River Creedy, Troney & Yeo:; main river).
| When | Flood | Source and cause | Postcodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 Apr 1966 | River Creedy, Troney & Yeo: | Main river; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | EX2 9RH |
| 4 Dec 1960 | River Exe: | Main river; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | EX2 9RH |
| 1 Sep 1960 | Alphin Brook nr Ide | Main river; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | EX2 9RH |
| 1960 | River Exe: | Main river; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | EX2 9RH |
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
1 storm overflow within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 29 times, for 41 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Fordland Brook.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The College Ide Cso South West Water | Fordland Brook | 29 | 41 | 20 m |
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 10 to 30%: 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.
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 270 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ide Refuse Tip Old Railway Cutting, Near Exeter, Devon | 1967 to 1970 | Not recorded | 270 m |
| Railway Cutting Halscombe Lane, Ide, Devon | 1978 to 1990 | Inert, industrial, household | 390 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 14 addresses are between 21 m and 96 m above sea level (52 m on average); the ground rises about 75 m from the lowest to the highest.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ide Primary School | Primary | 2–11 | 610 m (0.4 miles) | Good (Nov 2023, overall grade under the previous framework) | 60% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 12% at the higher standard (2025; 75% in 2024 and 83% in 2023) |
| Bowhill Primary School | Primary | 5–11 | 1.8 km (1.1 miles) | No published inspection | 55% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 1% at the higher standard (2025; 44% in 2024 and 67% in 2023) |
| West Exe Nursery School - Exeter Nursery Schools Federation | Nursery | 2–5 | 1.9 km (1.2 miles) | No published inspection | |
| West Exe School | Secondary | 11–16 | 2 km (1.2 miles) | Report card (Jun 2026): Curriculum and teaching: Expected standard; Achievement: Expected standard; Attendance and behaviour: Needs attention; Personal development and wellbeing: Expected standard; Inclusion: Expected standard; Leadership and governance: Expected standard; Safeguarding standards: Met | GCSE 2026 (provisional): Attainment 8 48.0 (47.0 in 2025 and 48.4 in 2024); 53.3% grade 5+ in English and maths |
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.
Nurseries and childcare
No nursery, pre-school or out-of-school club on Ofsted's register is within 1.5 km (0.9 miles) of the middle of the street.
Ofsted also registers 328 childminders and 60 home childcarers (nannies) in Devon. It does not publish their addresses, so they cannot be shown here; the council's family information service lists those taking children.

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.
