Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 7 addresses are in areas at high risk, 5 at medium risk and 9 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 531 homes the Environment Agency counts, 368 are in areas at high risk, 34 medium, 2 low and 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NN3 9EX | zone 2 | 1 / 1 / 7 | unlikely |
| NN3 9DA | zone 3 | 2 / 2 / 0 | unlikely |
| NN3 9BZ | zone 2 | 0 / 0 / 1 | unlikely |
| NN7 1NH | zone 2 | 4 / 2 / 1 | unlikely |
Recorded floods
2 recorded floods covered 3 of the centres of this street's postcodes, most recently in April 1998 (River Nene, d/s Northampton; main river).
| When | Flood | Source and cause | Postcodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 Apr 1998 | River Nene, d/s Northampton | Main river; channel capacity exceeded (no raised defences) | NN3 9BZ, NN3 9DA, NN3 9EX |
| 16 Mar 1947 | River Nene, d/s Northampton | Main river; operational failure/breach of defence | NN3 9BZ, NN3 9DA, NN3 9EX |
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.
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 10 to 30%: 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: 1 to 3% (1); 5 to 10% (2); 10 to 30% (2).
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
5 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 20 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billing Aquadrome Marina Lake Billing Aquadrome, Crow Lane, Northamptonshire | 1991 to 1994 | Inert | 20 m |
| The Causeway Crow Lane, Northampton | 1980 to 1981 | Inert | 30 m |
| Billing Garden Centre The Causeway, Great Billing, Northampton | Not recorded | Inert | 60 m |
| Billing Garden Centre Station Road, Great Billing, Northampton | 1982 to 1984 | Inert | 70 m |
| Station Road Cogenhoe | 1980 to 1981 | Inert | 280 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 83 addresses are between 51 m and 54 m above sea level (53 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.

Traffic on nearby roads
The busiest counted road within 500 m (0.3 miles) is the A45 between A43 and A5076, with 70,321 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 300 m from the street's postcodes.

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.

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.
