Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 4 addresses are in areas at high risk, 1 at medium risk and 0 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: 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TQ9 6ED | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| TQ9 6EA | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 1 / 0 | unlikely |
| TQ9 6EB | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| TQ9 6JB | not in 2 or 3 | 3 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| TQ9 6TQ | zone 3 | 1 / 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.
Storm overflows
4 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 148 times, for 1,056 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Bidwell Brook.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dartington B Cso South West Water | Bidwell Brook | 45 | 508 | 40 m |
| Shinner's Bridge Cso South West Water; monitored 89% of the year | Bidwell Brook | 18 | 26 | 60 m |
| Textile Mill South West Water | Bidwell Brook | 52 | 252 | 80 m |
| Dartington C Cso South West Water | Bidwell Brook | 33 | 271 | 220 m |
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.
Historic landfill
2 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 80 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dartington Hall, Tweeds Near Newton Abbot, Devon | Not recorded | Not recorded | 80 m |
| Symons Tree Area Dartington Dartington, Totnes, Devon | from 1980 | Inert, industrial | 210 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 87 addresses are between 26 m and 67 m above sea level (47 m on average); the ground rises about 41 m from the lowest to the highest.

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.
