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 250 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 Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | none (the line is held) | 260 m |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | none (the line is held) | 260 m |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention Selsey Bill to Hurst Spit | up to 5 m | 250 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
6 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 79 times, for 169 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Portsmouth Harbour.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gruneison Road Storm Ps Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 39 | 99 | 410 m (0.3 miles) |
| Gruneison Road Storm Ps Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 1 | 0 | 410 m (0.3 miles) |
| Gruneison Road Storm Ps Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 3 | 2 | 410 m (0.3 miles) |
| Gruneison Road Storm Ps Southern Water; monitored 85% of the year | Portsmouth Harbour | 0 | 0 | 410 m (0.3 miles) |
| North End Avenue Portsmouth Cso Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 31 | 63 | 500 m (0.3 miles) |
| Widley Road Portsmouth Cso Southern Water | Portsmouth Harbour | 5 | 5 | 500 m (0.3 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 3 to 5%: 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. 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 lies under part of it.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stamshaw Area Site A Adjacent to Tipner Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire | Not recorded | Inert | Under it |
| Tipner - Stamshaw Area 1 North of Newcomb Roadm Portsmouth, Hampshire | Not recorded | Inert, industrial, household | Under it |
| Tipner - Stamshaw Gladys Avenue, Portsmouth, Hampshire | Not recorded | Inert, industrial, household | 50 m |
| Stamshaw Area Site B Adjacent to Waldern Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire | Not recorded | Inert | 60 m |
| Stamshaw Chemical Works Stamshaw, Portsmouth | Not recorded | Industrial | 150 m |
| Stamshaw Park Western Terrace, PO2 8JX Portsmouth | Not recorded | Industrial, household | 220 m |
| Alexandra Park Normandy Road, Portsmouth | Not recorded | Household | 270 m |
| MOD site Tpner, Portsmouth | 1952 to 1970 | Not recorded | 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 addresses are about 5 m above sea level.

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.

Only collisions in which someone was hurt and which the police were told about are here: damage-only collisions and near misses are not, and some injuries are never reported. 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 M275 between M27 and end of Principal section, with 86,395 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 400 m (0.2 miles) from the street's postcodes.
| Road | Between | Vehicles a day | Lorries | Ten years before | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M275 | M27 to end of Principal section | 86,395 counted 2025 | 2% | +5% since 2015 | 400 m (0.2 miles) |
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.
