Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 0 addresses are in areas at high risk, 1 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IP22 1SN | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| IP22 1AD | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| IP22 1AL | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 1 / 2 | unlikely |
| IP22 1SW | 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
6 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 12 times, for 15 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into River Waveney, Tributary River Waveney, Unnamed Tributary River Wavene, The River Waveney Nt.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Victoria Road Cso Anglian Water | River Waveney | 0 | 0 | 770 m (0.5 miles) |
| Victoria Road Cso Anglian Water | River Waveney | 0 | 0 | 770 m (0.5 miles) |
| Sw &Amp; Sso Mount St-Diss Anglian Water | Tributary River Waveney | 0 | 0 | 830 m (0.5 miles) |
| Diss Uplands Way Cso Anglian Water; monitored 63% of the year | River Waveney | 0 | 0 | 830 m (0.5 miles) |
| Saracens Head/Mount Street Cso Anglian Water | Unnamed Tributary River Wavene | 4 | 1 | 880 m (0.5 miles) |
| Diss Water Recycling Centre Anglian Water | The River Waveney Nt | 8 | 14 | 930 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 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
No historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes.
Height above sea level
The street's 35 addresses are between 28 m and 48 m above sea level (39 m on average); the ground rises about 20 m from the lowest to the highest.

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Palgrave Church of England Primary School | Primary | 5–11 | 1.1 km (0.7 miles) | Good (Oct 2019, overall grade under the previous framework) | 100% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 0% at the higher standard (2025; 47% in 2024 and 67% in 2023) |
| Roydon Primary School | Primary | 4–11 | 1.6 km (1 mile) | Good (Feb 2024, overall grade under the previous framework) | 51% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 3% at the higher standard (2025; 39% in 2024 and 46% in 2023) |
| Diss Church of England Junior Academy | Primary | 7–11 | 2 km (1.2 miles) | Good (Sep 2022, overall grade under the previous framework) | 50% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 2% at the higher standard (2025; 45% in 2024 and 41% 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.
Nurseries and childcare
No nursery, pre-school or out-of-school club on Ofsted's register is within 1.5 km (0.9 miles) of the middle of the street.
Ofsted also registers 229 childminders and 46 home childcarers (nannies) in Suffolk. It does not publish their addresses, so they cannot be shown here; the council's family information service lists those taking children.
Food hygiene ratings nearby
No rated food businesses within 500 m (0.3 miles).
Crime within 250 m
No crimes recorded at anonymised points within 250 m in this period (suffolk).
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. Positions are recorded by the police, usually to within a few metres. Each year's figures are published the following September.
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.
