Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 0 addresses are in areas at high risk, 0 at medium risk and 7 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| M34 2DL | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 4 | unlikely |
| M34 2BS | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 3 | 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
7 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 253 times, for 578 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Denton Brook Via Sws, Denton Brook Trib River Tame, Unnamed Trib of Denton Brook, Denton Brook Via Clvr Wcourse and others.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shoecroft Garage Site Cso United Utilities | Denton Brook Via Sws | 15 | 19 | 140 m |
| Town Lane Circular Road Cso 44020 United Utilities | Denton Brook Trib River Tame | 46 | 90 | 140 m |
| Victoria St/Acre St Cso (442Wa) United Utilities | Denton Brook Via Sws | 34 | 37 | 200 m |
| Ross Lave Lane Cso United Utilities | Unnamed Trib of Denton Brook | 65 | 178 | 380 m |
| Rear of Kennedy Way Cso United Utilities | Denton Brook Via Sws | 83 | 231 | 390 m |
| Windmill Lane Cso 44012 United Utilities | Denton Brook Via Clvr Wcourse | 9 | 14 | 740 m (0.5 miles) |
| Wakeling Rd/Stockport Rd United Utilities | Tributary of River Tame | 1 | 9 | 890 m (0.6 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
2 of the street's 2 postcodes are in a coalfield, in a low risk area: coal was mined in the area, but no workings shallow enough to matter for building are recorded.
Conveyancers usually still order a coal mining search (CON29M) for a home in a coalfield.
Historic landfill
2 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denton Hall Farm (Denton IV) Windmill Lane, Denton | until 1985 | Inert, industrial, commercial, household, special (hazardous), liquid sludge; gas control on site | 40 m |
| Denton Four Denton Hall Park Road, Denton | Not recorded | Inert, industrial, commercial, household; gas control on site | 250 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 13 addresses are between 91 m and 92 m above sea level (91 m on average).

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.
