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 5 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| EX17 1DN | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| EX17 1FB | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 2 | unlikely |
| EX17 1ER | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 3 | unlikely |
Recorded floods
1 recorded flood covered 2 of the centres of this street's postcodes, most recently in January 1968 (th; ordinary watercourse).
| When | Flood | Source and cause | Postcodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 Jan 1968 | th | Ordinary watercourse; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | EX17 1DN, EX17 1FB |
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
16 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 83 times, for 198 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Stream (S), Stream(S), Trib of River Creedy Via Sws, Trib of River Creedy (Sws) and others.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buller Road Cso South West Water | Stream (S) | 0 | 0 | 80 m |
| Old Tiverton Road Cso South West Water | Stream(S) | 0 | 0 | 80 m |
| Belle Parade Cso South West Water | Trib of River Creedy Via Sws | 0 | 0 | 90 m |
| Church Lane Combined Sewer Overflow South West Water | Trib of River Creedy Via Sws | 5 | 0 | 90 m |
| Church Street Combined Sewer Overfl South West Water | Trib of River Creedy (Sws) | 2 | 0 | 90 m |
| Hawkings Way Credition Cso South West Water | Trib of River Creedy Via Sws | 21 | 9 | 90 m |
| Jockey Hill Cso South West Water | Tributary of Iver Creedy | 21 | 4 | 90 m |
| North Street Car Park Cso South West Water | Trib of River Creedy Via Sws | 0 | 0 | 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
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 5 to 10%: 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
No historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes.
Height above sea level
The street's 49 addresses are between 38 m and 54 m above sea level (44 m on average); the ground rises about 16 m from the lowest to the highest.

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hayward's Primary School | Primary | 4–11 | 1 km (0.6 miles) | Report card (Mar 2026): Curriculum and teaching: Expected standard; Achievement: Expected standard; Attendance and behaviour: Expected standard; Personal development and wellbeing: Strong standard; Inclusion: Strong standard; Leadership and governance: Expected standard; Early years: Expected standard; Safeguarding standards: Met | 69% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 8% at the higher standard (2025; 52% in 2024 and 52% 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.

Traffic on nearby roads
The busiest counted road within 500 m (0.3 miles) is the A3072, with 6,654 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 320 m from the street's postcodes.

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.
