Energy projects nearby
1 energy project near the street's postcodes.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scouthead Power Plant Oldham 40861 | Landfill Gas | 2.9 MW | Operational Sep 2003 | 2.8 km (1.7 miles) |
Planned projects can change or not go ahead; search the planning authority's applications by the reference shown for the plans, conditions and any objections. Construction brings traffic for some months; once built, solar farms and batteries are usually quiet, while turbines and waste plants can be seen or heard further away.
Roadworks
No street works under way, planned or finished in the last three months on this street, in permits up to 31 October 2026.
Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 2 addresses are in areas at high risk, 0 at medium risk and 3 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 16 homes the Environment Agency counts, 1 are in areas at high risk, 0 medium, 13 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 2. Zone 2 is between 0.1% and 1% a year from rivers (0.1% and 0.5% from the sea), ignoring defences.
| Postcode | Planning zone | Addresses at high / medium / low risk | Groundwater |
|---|---|---|---|
| OL5 9BN | not in 2 or 3 | 1 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| OL3 7HY | zone 2 | 1 / 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.
Coastal erosion
No projected coastal erosion zone is within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes.
Storm overflows
6 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 140 times, for 1,589 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into River Tame, River Tame Via Sws.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Armit Rd (Grasscroft) Cso Ps United Utilities | River Tame | 9 | 36 | 220 m |
| Manchester Road (Greenfield) Cso United Utilities | River Tame | 0 | 0 | 340 m |
| Roaches Lock Cso United Utilities | River Tame | 24 | 36 | 580 m (0.4 miles) |
| Saddleworth Wwtw United Utilities | River Tame | 53 | 869 | 820 m (0.5 miles) |
| East Greenfield Cso United Utilities | River Tame | 0 | 0 | 870 m (0.5 miles) |
| Greenfield Chew Valley Road Cso United Utilities | River Tame Via Sws | 54 | 649 | 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
1 of the street's 2 postcodes is 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; the rest are outside the coalfield.
Conveyancers usually still order a coal mining search (CON29M) for a home in a coalfield.
Radon
The highest radon potential in the 1 km squares around the street's postcodes is 1 to 3%: 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. UKHSA sells a radon report for a single address from its detailed map at ukradon.org.
Historic landfill
4 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 280 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Midge Hill Mossley, Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester | 1964 to 1972 | Commercial | 280 m |
| Mossley Holder Station Manchester Road, Mossley, Tameside, Greater Manchester | 1986 to 1988 | Inert, industrial | 280 m |
| Land off Mossley Road Grasscroft, Mossley, Greater Manchester | Not recorded | Not recorded | 280 m |
| Quick Edge Quarry Mossley, Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester | from 1985 | Not recorded | 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 5 addresses are between 145 m and 153 m above sea level (147 m on average); the ground rises about 8 m from the lowest to the highest.

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.

Road safety
No collisions in which someone was hurt were reported on and around the street in 2021 to 2025.
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 A670 between LA Boundary and A669, with 5,842 motor vehicles a day on average in 2025, 210 m from the street's postcodes.
| Road | Between | Vehicles a day | Lorries | Ten years before | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A670 | LA Boundary to A669 | 5,842 counted 2025 | 1% | +40% since 2015 | 210 m |
| A670 | A6050 to LA Boundary | 5,842 counted 2025 | 1% | +40% since 2015 | 330 m |
| A6050 | LA Boundary to A670 | 2,424 counted 2025 | 2% | +5% since 2015 | 420 m (0.3 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.
