Gas and electricity use
Homes with gas used 12,810 kWh of it on average in 2024, about the same as the district, and 3,715 kWh of electricity, 5% more than the district's 3,530 kWh. There are gas meters for about 93% of the homes.
| Postcode | Electricity meters | Typical electricity | Gas meters | Typical gas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DE72 3QE | 47 14 Economy 7 | 2,809 kWh | 46 | 11,230 kWh |

| DE72 3QP | 36 14 Economy 7 | 2,773 kWh | 35 | 11,878 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 DE72.

Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 6 addresses are in areas at high risk, 6 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 99 homes the Environment Agency counts, 0 are in areas at high risk, 1 medium, 1 low and 17 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 2. Zone 2 is between 0.1% and 1% a year from rivers (0.1% and 0.5% from the sea), ignoring defences.
| Postcode | Planning zone | Addresses at high / medium / low risk | Groundwater |
|---|---|---|---|
| DE72 3QE | not in 2 or 3 | 5 / 4 / 8 | unlikely |
| DE72 3QF | zone 2 | 0 / 1 / 1 | unlikely |
| DE72 3QY | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| DE72 3PR | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| DE72 3QP | not in 2 or 3 | 1 / 1 / 1 | unlikely |
Recorded floods
1 recorded flood covered 2 of the centres of this street's postcodes, most recently in December 1965 (Derwent; main river).
| When | Flood | Source and cause | Postcodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Dec 1965 | Derwent | Main river; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | DE72 3QF, DE72 3QY |
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
2 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 9 times, for 36 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Golden Brook, Golden Brook (River Erewash).
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marlborough Road (Rear) Cso Severn Trent Water | Golden Brook | 5 | 27 | 600 m (0.4 miles) |
| Breaston - South of Church (Cso) Severn Trent Water | Golden Brook (River Erewash) | 4 | 10 | 740 m (0.5 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
The highest radon potential in the 1 km squares around the street's postcodes is 1 to 3%: 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); 1 to 3% (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. UKHSA sells a radon report for a single address from its detailed map at ukradon.org.
Historic landfill
2 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 50 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Existing Plant Area and Silt Ponds Elvaston Quarry, Sawley Road, Draycott | 1986 to 1994 | Industrial | 50 m |
| Elvaston Quarry - Loop of River Derwent Elvaston | 1986 to 1990 | Inert, industrial, commercial, household, special (hazardous), liquid sludge | 440 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 63 addresses are between 31 m and 37 m above sea level (35 m on average); the ground rises about 6 m from the lowest to the highest.

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Draycott Community Primary School | Primary | 3–11 | 1.1 km (0.7 miles) | Requires improvement (Feb 2022, overall grade under the previous framework) | 75% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 0% at the higher standard (2025) |
| Firfield Primary School | Primary | 5–11 | 1.2 km (0.8 miles) | No published inspection | 60% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 14% at the higher standard (2025; 65% in 2024 and 62% 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.

Policing
This street is policed by Derbyshire Constabulary. Of the 85,835 crimes it recorded in 2025/26 (April to March), 10.3% had led to someone being charged or summonsed to court, against 9.3% across England and Wales.
In the 12 months November 2025 to October 2026 it answered 91.0% of its 181,923 999 calls within 10 seconds, against a national target of 90% and 89.6% across England and Wales.
| Outcome | Derbyshire Constabulary | England and Wales |
|---|---|---|
| Charged or summonsed | 10.3% | 9.3% |
| Dealt with out of court (caution, community resolution, penalty notice) | 5.6% | 4.4% |
| Closed with no suspect identified | 32.2% | 37.8% |
| Closed: the victim did not support further action | 24.7% | 25.4% |
| Closed: suspect identified, but not enough evidence | 18.9% | 15.1% |
| Other outcomes (not in the public interest, transferred elsewhere) | 4.5% | 3.9% |
| No outcome yet (still under investigation) | 3.9% | 4.0% |
Each crime is counted under the outcome it had been given when the figures were taken, a few months after the year ended, so some recorded late in the year were still being investigated. Forces differ in the crimes they deal with (a city force has more shoplifting and fewer rural thefts), which changes these shares, so a difference from England and Wales is not by itself a measure of how well a force investigates. Fraud is not included: it is recorded nationally.

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
The busiest counted road within 500 m (0.3 miles) is the A6005 between Sawley Rd and B6540, with 6,426 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 300 m from the street's postcodes.
| Road | Between | Vehicles a day | Lorries | Ten years before | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A6005 | Sawley Rd to B6540 | 6,426 estimated; counted 2018 | 1% | -13% since 2015 | 300 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.

Postcodes on this street
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.
