Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 16 addresses are in areas at high risk, 5 at medium risk and 32 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 97 homes the Environment Agency counts, 5 are in areas at high risk, 4 medium, 1 low and 0 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.

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 40 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 Durlston Head to Rame Head | none (the line is held) | 60 m |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | Hold the line Durlston Head to Rame Head | none (the line is held) | 60 m |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention Durlston Head to Rame Head | up to 23 m | 40 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 96 times, for 206 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Preston Sands (C), English Channel, Cockington Stream to Sea, Cockington Stream.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preston Green Attenuation Tank South West Water | Preston Sands (C) | 11 | 10 | 360 m |
| #N/A South West Water | Preston Sands (C) | 20 | 8 | 530 m (0.3 miles) |
| Clennon Valley Pumping Station South West Water; monitored 81% of the year | English Channel | 9 | 1 | 690 m (0.4 miles) |
| Old Mill Road South West Water | Cockington Stream to Sea | 42 | 125 | 1 km (0.6 miles) |
| Paignton (Cockington Lane) Ps South West Water | Cockington Stream | 6 | 12 | 1 km (0.6 miles) |
| Paignton (Cockington Lane) Ps South West Water | Cockington Stream | 8 | 51 | 1 km (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
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% (10); 3 to 5% (14); 5 to 10% (13); 10 to 30% (9).
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
No historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes.
Height above sea level
The street's 1,145 addresses are between 5 m and 24 m above sea level (11 m on average); the ground rises about 20 m from the lowest to the highest.

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preston Primary School | Primary | 4–11 | 450 m (0.3 miles) | No published inspection | 60% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 11% at the higher standard (2025; 63% in 2024 and 56% in 2023) |
| Oldway Primary School | Primary | 2–11 | 1.4 km (0.9 miles) | Good (Jun 2024, overall grade under the previous framework) | 66% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 11% at the higher standard (2025; 44% in 2024 and 56% in 2023) |
| Sacred Heart Catholic School Roman Catholic | Primary | 3–11 | 1.5 km (1 mile) | No published inspection | 55% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 13% at the higher standard (2025; 74% in 2024 and 60% in 2023) |
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.

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 A3022 between A3022 Hyde Rd and A3022 Rathmore Rd, with 14,577 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 30 m from the street's postcodes.
| Road | Between | Vehicles a day | Lorries | Ten years before | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A3022 | A3022 Commercial Rd to A3022 Hyde Rd | 10,245 estimated; counted 2018 | 1% | -10% since 2015 | 10 m |
| A3022 | A3022 Hyde Rd to A3022 Rathmore Rd | 14,577 counted 2025 | 1% | -10% since 2015 | 30 m |
| A3022 | A379 to A3022 Totnes Rd | 12,675 estimated; counted 2018 | 1% | -19% since 2015 | 100 m |
| A3022 | A3022 Torquay rd to A379 Dartmouth rd | 11,873 counted 2025 | 1% | -4% since 2015 | 160 m |
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.
