These are all the homes on the postcode, whatever their size and however many live in them, so they show the kind of homes and heating here rather than what any one home uses. The typical figure is the median: half the homes used less. The district is TQ6.

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
No address in this street's postcodes is in an area at high, medium or low risk of flooding from rivers, the sea or surface water. The rest are in areas at very low risk: less than a 0.1% (1 in 1,000) chance a year.
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 is in flood zone 2 or 3.
Recorded floods
No recorded flood covers the centre 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
The nearest projected erosion zone is 670 m (0.4 miles) from the street's postcodes (by 2105, if defences are not maintained or built).
| Projection | Policy for the frontage | Erosion | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| By 2055, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Durlston Head to Rame Head | none (the line is held) | 680 m (0.4 miles) |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Durlston Head to Rame Head | none (the line is held) | 680 m (0.4 miles) |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention Durlston Head to Rame Head | up to 12 m | 670 m (0.4 miles) |
Each shoreline management plan sets a policy for each stretch of coast: hold the line (keep defences where they are), managed realignment (let the shore move back in a controlled way), advance the line, or no active intervention. Erosion is the distance the shore may move back, counted from today, for the higher central climate change allowance. The maps are guidance from national modelling, not a survey of any one home; the council's coastal team can say more.
Storm overflows
6 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 238 times, for 599 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Dart River Estuary(E), River Dart Via Sws (Estuarine), River Dart (Estuarine), Dart Estuary and others.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mayors Avenue Pumping Station South West Water | Dart River Estuary(E) | 46 | 117 | 530 m (0.3 miles) |
| Smith Street Cso South West Water | River Dart Via Sws (Estuarine) | 85 | 162 | 550 m (0.3 miles) |
| Darthaven Marina Pumping Station South West Water | River Dart (Estuarine) | 33 | 11 | 700 m (0.4 miles) |
| Lower Ferry Pumping Station South West Water | River Dart (Estuarine) | 44 | 77 | 830 m (0.5 miles) |
| Priory Slip Pumping Station South West Water | Dart Estuary | 5 | 4 | 890 m (0.6 miles) |
| Townstal Tank Cso South West Water | Trib of Old Mill Creek Via Sws | 25 | 229 | 920 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 here is in a coalfield: the Mining Remediation Authority records no coal mining risk here.
Radon
The postcode is in a 1 km square with radon potential up to 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 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. 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
No historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes.
Height above sea level
The street's address is about 56 m above sea level.

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dartmouth Academy | All-through | 3–19 | 1.1 km (0.7 miles) | Good (Apr 2023, overall grade under the previous framework) | 70% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 10% at the higher standard (2025; 52% in 2024 and 38% in 2023) GCSE 2026 (provisional): Attainment 8 43.7 (45.3 in 2025 and 43.1 in 2024); 31.5% grade 5+ in English and maths |
| St John the Baptist Roman Catholic Primary School, Dartmouth | Primary | 4–11 | 1.2 km (0.7 miles) | No published inspection | 44% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 11% at the higher standard (2025; 38% in 2024) |
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 A379 between A3122 and SANDQUAY ROAD/Ferry, with 8,325 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 440 m (0.3 miles) from the street's postcodes.
| Road | Between | Vehicles a day | Lorries | Ten years before | Distance |

| A379 | A3122 to SANDQUAY ROAD/Ferry | 8,325 counted 2025 | 1% | -13% since 2015 | 440 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.

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.
