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
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 6 addresses are in areas at high risk, 0 at medium risk and 10 at low risk. Each address counts once, at the higher of its rivers-and-sea and surface-water risk.
Rivers and the sea alone: of the 28 homes the Environment Agency counts, 6 are in areas at high risk, 0 medium, 5 low and 0 very low.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NR9 3LZ | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| NR9 3AA | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 1 | unlikely |
| NR5 9FA | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 1 | unlikely |
| NR9 3LS | not in 2 or 3 | 6 / 0 / 8 | unlikely |
Recorded floods
1 recorded flood covered 1 of the centres of this street's postcodes, most recently in January 1968 (main river).
| When | Flood | Source and cause | Postcodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Jan 1968 | Not named | Main river; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | NR9 3LZ |
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
No storm overflow outlet is within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes.
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 300 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colney Quarry, North West of Colney Hall Watton Road, Colney | 1977 to 1993 | Inert | 300 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 43 addresses are between 11 m and 21 m above sea level (13 m on average); the ground rises about 10 m from the lowest to the highest.

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Bawburgh School | Primary | 4–11 | 270 m | No overall grade (Oct 2024, graded inspection without an overall judgement): Quality of education: Good; Behaviour and attitudes: Good; Personal development: Good; Leadership and management: Good | 86% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 7% at the higher standard (2025; 53% in 2024 and 73% in 2023) |
| Chapel Break Infant School | Primary | 4–7 | 1.7 km (1 mile) | Outstanding (Dec 2023, overall grade under the previous framework) | None published |
| St Michael's VA Junior School Church of England | Primary | 7–11 | 1.8 km (1.1 miles) | No published inspection | 69% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 5% at the higher standard (2025; 60% in 2024 and 54% 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.

The busiest counted road within 500 m (0.3 miles) is the A47 between A1074 and A11, with 45,824 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 140 m from the street's postcodes.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A47 | A1074 to A11 | 45,824 counted 2025 | 6% | +24% since 2015 | 140 m |
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.
