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
The Environment Agency's long-term flood risk figures have not been loaded for this street's postcodes yet.
Flood zone for planning: no postcode centre is in flood zone 2 or 3.
Recorded floods
1 recorded flood covered the centre of this street's postcodes, most recently in June 2007 (Beighton to Catcliffe, River Rother; drainage).
| When | Flood | Source and cause |
|---|---|---|
| 15 Jun 2007 | Beighton to Catcliffe, River Rother | Drainage; overtopping of defences |
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 120 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into River Rother.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Treeton Mill Lane Sew Pumping Stn Yorkshire Water | River Rother | 29 | 120 | 90 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
This postcode is in a coal mining high risk area, where coal mining features at or near the surface, such as shallow workings or old mine shafts, are recorded or likely and could affect the ground.
Ask your conveyancer for a coal mining search (CON29M) on the home: it says what is recorded beneath and near it, and whether there have been claims for subsidence damage.
Radon
The postcode is in a 1 km square with radon potential up to 1 to 3%: 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 the square 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. UKHSA sells a radon report for a single address from its detailed map at ukradon.org.
Historic landfill
6 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 80 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| British Steel Corporation Orgreave Works, Shefford, South Yorkshire | 1940 to 1992 | Inert, industrial, commercial, household, liquid sludge | 80 m |
| Treeton Lane Catcliffe, Rotherham, South Yorkshire | from 1910 | Inert, industrial | 220 m |
| Treeton Lane Catcliffe, Rotherham | 1982 to 1993 | Inert, industrial, commercial, household, liquid sludge | 220 m |
| Mill Lane Treeton, Rotherham, Yorkshire | from 1965 | Commercial, household | 320 m |
| Orgreave Road Catcliffe, Rotherham | from 1955 | Commercial, household | 330 m |
| Orgreave Road Catcliffe, Rotherham | Not recorded | Not recorded | 400 m (0.2 miles) |
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 6 addresses are between 33 m and 39 m above sea level (37 m on average); the ground rises about 6 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.

Road safety
No collisions in which someone was hurt were reported on and around the street in 2021 to 2025.
Only collisions in which someone was hurt and which the police were told about are here: damage-only collisions and near misses are not, and some injuries are never reported.

Traffic on nearby roads
No traffic count point is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes. The Department for Transport counts every motorway and A road and only a sample of minor roads, so a quiet residential street usually has none.

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.
