Gas and electricity use
Homes with gas used 7,683 kWh of it on average in 2024, 35% less than the district's 11,852 kWh, and 3,569 kWh of electricity, about the same as the district. There are gas meters for about 76% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NP18 3PU | 31 | 1,605 kWh | 31 | 6,185 kWh |
| NP18 3PW | 23 | 3,197 kWh | 23 | 7,792 kWh |
| NP18 3PX | 16 | 1,783 kWh | 14 | 4,989 kWh |
| NP18 1LP | 20 | 5,814 kWh | none recorded |
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 NP18.
Council tax
What each band costs in Newport in 2026-27: Band D £2,088 a year on average, including the police and community council charges.
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I |

Homes by band in the neighbourhoods around this street: most are in band E (22% of about 1,950 homes).
Planning and heritage
- Conservation area: no postcode centre in this street's postcodes is in one.
- Listed buildings on or by this street: none.
- Article 4 directions, tree preservation orders and green belt: Wales has no national record of these; the council's planning department holds them.
Energy projects nearby
No wind turbine or waste plant within 5 km (3.1 miles), and no solar farm, battery site or other project of 1 MW or more within 2 km (1.2 miles), of the street's postcodes, operating or planned.
Roadworks
Street works permits come from the Department for Transport's Street Manager, which covers England only.
Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: of the 161 address points in this street's postcodes, 4 at high risk, 8 at medium risk and 89 at low risk. Each counts once, at the higher of its rivers-and-sea and surface-water risk.
Rivers and the sea alone: 3 at high risk, 5 at medium risk and 82 at low risk. Surface water and small watercourses alone: 1 at high risk, 3 at medium risk and 21 at low risk.
High: 3.3% (1 in 30) or more chance of flooding a year. Medium: 1% to 3.3%. Low: 0.1% to 1%. The map allows for flood defences. Address points are every property record (UPRN) in the postcode, each counted if it is in an area or within 5 m of one (the maps stop at building walls); a few are not homes, such as garages, business units or caravan pitches. 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. Welsh zones include an allowance for climate change.
| Postcode | Planning zone | Addresses at high / medium / low risk |
|---|---|---|
| NP18 3PU | zone 3 | 0 / 0 / 25 |
| NP18 3PW | zone 3 | 0 / 0 / 23 |
| NP18 3PX | zone 3 | 0 / 0 / 16 |
| NP18 1LP | not in 2 or 3 | 4 / 6 / 2 |
| NP18 3NN | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 2 / 23 |
Recorded floods
1 recorded flood covered 4 of the centres of this street's postcodes, most recently in December 1979 (Caerleon; river).
| When | Flood | Source and cause | Postcodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27 Dec 1979 | Caerleon | River; exceedance (undefended) | NP18 3NN, NP18 3PU, NP18 3PW, NP18 3PX |
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 in this record, which covers the overflows reported to the Environment Agency: most of Wales's are reported to Natural Resources Wales instead.
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 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: 3 to 5% (1); 5 to 10% (5).
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
8 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 40 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caerleon Forge Caerleon, Newport, Gwent | Not recorded | Not recorded | 40 m |
| Newport High School Rugby Ground Caerleon, Newport, Gwent | from 1985 | Inert | 100 m |
| Sor Mill Landfill Sor Mill Landfill, Usk Road, Usk, Caerleon, Newport | 1993 to 1996 | Inert, industrial | 130 m |
| Sor Mill Farm Caerleon, Newport | 1994 to 1995 | Inert | 200 m |
| Sor Brook Landfill Pont Sor, Usk Road | 1987 to 1991 | Inert | 330 m |
| Pont Sadwrn Caerleon, Newport | Not recorded | Household | 380 m |
| Whitehall Farm Caerleon, Newport, Gwent | 1988 to 1997 | Inert, industrial, household | 410 m (0.3 miles) |
| Land at Mill Street Carkean | 1988 to 1989 | Inert | 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 74 addresses are between 9 m and 24 m above sea level (11 m on average); the ground rises about 15 m from the lowest to the highest.

| Ponthir Church in Wales School English medium | Primary | 4–11 | 2 km (1.2 miles) | Estyn reports · My Local School | Not published in Wales |
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. Wales publishes no school results tables.
Nurseries and childcare
Ofsted registers childcare in England only. In Wales, nurseries, playgroups and childminders are registered and inspected by Care Inspectorate Wales, whose directory of services lists them with their reports.

Traffic on nearby roads
No traffic count point is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes. The Department for Transport counts every motorway and A road and only a sample of minor roads, so a quiet residential street usually has none.

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.
