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 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: 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 on this street is in flood zone 2 or 3.
| Postcode | Planning zone | Addresses at high / medium / low risk | Groundwater |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD7 5TP | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| HD7 5ST | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 2 | unlikely |
| HD7 5FJ | not in 2 or 3 | ||
| HD7 5TR | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
Recorded floods
No recorded flood covers the centre of any 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
10 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 217 times, for 853 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Culv'd Trib of Hoyle House Brk, River Colne, Hoyle House Brook (Culverted), Hoyle House Brook and others.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Causeway Side 12 Cso Yorkshire Water | Culv'd Trib of Hoyle House Brk | 17 | 68 | 570 m (0.4 miles) |
| Fernlea Grove Cso Yorkshire Water | River Colne | 16 | 29 | 600 m (0.4 miles) |
| Titanic Mills Cso Yorkshire Water | River Colne | 50 | 212 | 620 m (0.4 miles) |
| Gordon Terrace Cso Yorkshire Water | River Colne | 29 | 108 | 640 m (0.4 miles) |
| Stones Lane/Waingate Cso Yorkshire Water | Hoyle House Brook (Culverted) | 9 | 42 | 660 m (0.4 miles) |
| Causeway Side 13 C.s.o Yorkshire Water | Hoyle House Brook | 12 | 17 | 760 m (0.5 miles) |
| Bargate Cso Yorkshire Water | River Colne | 8 | 17 | 790 m (0.5 miles) |
| Ramsden Mill Cso Yorkshire Water | River Colne | 4 | 9 | 820 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
2 of the street's 4 postcodes are 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. 2 more are elsewhere in the coalfield, at low risk.
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 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.
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
3 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 210 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cowersley Lane Quarry Cowersley Lane, Linthwaite, Huddersfield | 1969 to 1994 | Inert, commercial | 210 m |
| Blackmoorcroft Road Meltham, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire | Not recorded | Inert | 380 m |
| Crosland Moor Blackmoorfoot Road, South Crosland | 1971 to 1983 | Inert, industrial, commercial | 430 m (0.3 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 16 addresses are between 232 m and 247 m above sea level (240 m on average); the ground rises about 15 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
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.
