Gas and electricity use
Homes with gas used 7,368 kWh of it on average in 2024, 17% less than the district's 8,850 kWh, and 3,160 kWh of electricity, 8% more than the district's 2,938 kWh. There are gas meters for about 96% of the homes.
| Postcode | Electricity meters | Typical electricity | Gas meters | Typical gas |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| EX2 7EF | 21 | 1,855 kWh | 20 | 6,274 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 EX2.

Energy projects nearby
2 energy projects near the street's postcodes.
| Project | Kind | Size | Stage | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exeter EfW Exeter 07/0927/25 | Energy from waste (incinerator) | 13 MW | Operational Oct 2014 | 2.7 km (1.7 miles) |
| Enfield Farm East Devon 14/0858/MFUL | Anaerobic digestion | 2 MW | Operational Sep 2016 | 3.5 km (2.2 miles) |
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, 2 addresses are in areas at high risk, 0 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| EX2 7DW | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 2 | unlikely |
| EX2 7EF | not in 2 or 3 | 2 / 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
The nearest projected erosion zone is 350 m from the street's postcodes (by 2105, if defences are not maintained or built).
| Projection | Policy for the frontage | Erosion | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| By 2055, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Durlston Head to Rame Head | none (the line is held) | 360 m |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Durlston Head to Rame Head | none (the line is held) | 360 m |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention Durlston Head to Rame Head | up to 9 m | 350 m |
Each shoreline management plan sets a policy for each stretch of coast: hold the line (keep defences where they are), managed realignment (let the shore move back in a controlled way), advance the line, or no active intervention. Erosion is the distance the shore may move back, counted from today, for the higher central climate change allowance. The maps are guidance from national modelling, not a survey of any one home; the council's coastal team can say more.
Storm overflows
3 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 67 times, for 330 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into River Exe Estuary(E), Trib of River Exe (Estuarine).
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exeter (Countess Wear) Stw South West Water | River Exe Estuary(E) | 25 | 96 | 340 m |
| Exeter (Countess Wear) Stw South West Water | River Exe Estuary(E) | 42 | 234 | 340 m |
| Newport Park Pumping Station South West Water | Trib of River Exe (Estuarine) | 0 | 0 | 400 m (0.2 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.
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
No historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes.
Height above sea level
The street's 28 addresses are between 10 m and 11 m above sea level (11 m on average).

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Countess Wear Primary School | Primary | 2–11 | 580 m (0.4 miles) | Requires improvement (Oct 2022, overall grade under the previous framework) | 31% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 7% at the higher standard (2025) |
| Trinity CofE Primary and Nursery School Church of England | Primary | 2–11 | 1.1 km (0.7 miles) | Requires improvement (Mar 2022, overall grade under the previous framework) | 75% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 10% at the higher standard (2025; 80% in 2024) |
| The Topsham School | Primary | 4–11 | 1.5 km (0.9 miles) | No published inspection | 52% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 14% at the higher standard (2025; 67% in 2024 and 46% in 2023) |
| Exminster Community Primary | Primary | 4–11 | 1.8 km (1.1 miles) | Good (Sep 2022, overall grade under the previous framework) | 76% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 9% at the higher standard (2025; 66% in 2024 and 61% 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 328 childminders and 60 home childcarers (nannies) in Devon. It does not publish their addresses, so they cannot be shown here; the council's family information service lists those taking children.

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.
