Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 1 address is in areas at high risk, 2 at medium risk and 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| WA16 7GJ | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| WA16 7ER | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| WA16 7GE | not in 2 or 3 | 1 / 2 / 3 | 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
3 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 232 times, for 1,822 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Mobberley Brook, Mobberley Brook Trib Rv Bollin.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobberley Wwtw United Utilities | Mobberley Brook | 61 | 148 | 410 m (0.3 miles) |
| Mobberley Wwtw United Utilities | Mobberley Brook | 70 | 839 | 410 m (0.3 miles) |
| Town Lane Cso United Utilities; monitored 90% of the year | Mobberley Brook Trib Rv Bollin | 101 | 835 | 760 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
No postcode centre on the street is in a coalfield: the Mining Remediation Authority records no coal mining risk here.
Radon
Every 1 km square the street's postcodes are in is in the lowest band of radon potential: fewer than 1 home in 100 is estimated to be at or above the Action Level. It is not a radon Affected Area.
Historic landfill
1 historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 270 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Town Lane Farm South of Townfield Lane, Mobberley, Cheshire | Not recorded | Not recorded | 270 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 8 addresses are between 56 m and 58 m above sea level (58 m on average).

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobberley CofE Primary School Church of England | Primary | 4–11 | 1.2 km (0.7 miles) | No overall grade (Oct 2024, graded inspection without an overall judgement): Quality of education: Good; Behaviour and attitudes: Outstanding; Personal development: Good; Leadership and management: Good | 75% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 21% at the higher standard (2025; 55% in 2024 and 68% in 2023) |
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.

No collisions in which someone was hurt were reported on and around the street in 2021 to 2025.

The busiest counted road within 500 m (0.3 miles) is the Minor road, with 778 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 160 m from the street's postcodes.

Each figure is the annual average daily flow: the motor vehicles passing the count point, both ways, on an average day of the year.

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.
