Gas and electricity use
Homes with gas used 10,143 kWh of it on average in 2024, 20% less than the district's 12,719 kWh, and 2,354 kWh of electricity, 20% less than the district's 2,931 kWh. There are gas meters for about 63% of the homes.
1 of its postcodes has no gas meters recorded among 10 or more homes: often flats heated by electricity, or homes off the gas grid.
| Postcode | Electricity meters | Typical electricity | Gas meters | Typical gas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BB9 8PH | 21 | 2,861 kWh | 21 | 10,246 kWh |
| BB9 8QU | 43 | 899 kWh | none recorded | |
| BB9 8LG | 19 | 4,448 kWh | 19 | 9,597 kWh |
| BB9 8PQ | 23 | 2,039 kWh | 24 | 7,447 kWh |
| BB9 8RD | 6 | 1,410 kWh | 6 | 8,037 kWh |
These are all the homes on each 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 BB9.
Council tax
What each band costs in Pendle in 2026-27: Band D £2,640 a year on average, including the police, fire and any county and parish charges.

Planned projects can change or not go ahead; search the planning authority's applications by the reference shown for the plans, conditions and any objections. Construction brings traffic for some months; once built, solar farms and batteries are usually quiet, while turbines and waste plants can be seen or heard further away.
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, 50 addresses are in areas at high risk, 2 at medium risk and 68 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 113 homes the Environment Agency counts, 50 are in areas at high risk, 2 medium, 61 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: at least one postcode centre is in flood zone 3. Zone 3 is a 1% (1 in 100) or greater annual chance of flooding from rivers, or 0.5% from the sea, ignoring defences.
| Postcode | Planning zone | Addresses at high / medium / low risk | Groundwater |
|---|---|---|---|
| BB9 8PH | zone 2 | 2 / 2 / 25 | unlikely |
| BB9 8QU | zone 2 | 0 / 0 / 43 | unlikely |
| BB9 8LG | zone 3 | 19 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| BB9 8PQ | zone 3 | 23 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| BB9 8RD | zone 3 | 6 / 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
5 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 87 times, for 151 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Pendle Water, Walverden Water, Culvrtd Trib of Walverden Wtr.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barrowford Cso United Utilities | Pendle Water | 29 | 5 | 150 m |
| 11 North Park Avenue Cso United Utilities | Pendle Water | 7 | 8 | 480 m (0.3 miles) |
| Fleet Street United Utilities | Walverden Water | 50 | 136 | 610 m (0.4 miles) |
| Crawford Street (Nelson) Cso 321P3 United Utilities | Walverden Water | 0 | 0 | 870 m (0.5 miles) |
| Reedyford Rd Cso (32020) United Utilities | Culvrtd Trib of Walverden Wtr | 1 | 2 | 900 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
5 of the street's 5 postcodes are in a coalfield, in a low risk area: coal was mined in the area, but no workings shallow enough to matter for building are recorded.
Conveyancers usually still order a coal mining search (CON29M) for a home in a coalfield.
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.
By postcode centre: less than 1% (2); 5 to 10% (4).
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
3 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 210 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adjacent to Pendle Water Barrowford Road, Nelson, Pendle, Lancashire | Not recorded | Household | 210 m |
| Reedyford Road Reedyford Road, Nelson, Pendle, Lancashire | Not recorded | Not recorded | 310 m |
| West of Colne Water Romney Avenue, Nelson, Pendle, Lancashire | Not recorded | Not recorded | 460 m (0.3 miles) |
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 95 addresses are between 115 m and 118 m above sea level (117 m on average).

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 M65 between 13 and A6068, with 37,055 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 480 m (0.3 miles) from the street's postcodes.
| Road | Between | Vehicles a day | Lorries | Ten years before | Distance |

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.
