These are all the homes on each postcode, whatever their size and however many live in them, so they show the kind of homes and heating here rather than what any one home uses. The typical figure is the median: half the homes used less. The district is CA26.
Council tax

Energy projects nearby
2 energy projects near the street's postcodes, 1 of them not yet operating.

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, 1 address is in areas at high risk, 0 at medium risk and 0 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CA26 3UH | not in 2 or 3 | 1 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| CA26 3UJ | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| CA26 3UL | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| CA26 3UB | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| CA26 3UN | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | 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
4 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 160 times, for 361 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Dub Beck, Winder Beck, Trib of Winder Beck, Eller Gill.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arlecdon Stw United Utilities | Dub Beck | 68 | 188 | 540 m (0.3 miles) |
| Arlecdon Combined Sewer Overflow United Utilities | Winder Beck | 33 | 85 | 630 m (0.4 miles) |
| 28/29 Arlecdon Parks Road Cso United Utilities | Trib of Winder Beck | 1 | 0 | 650 m (0.4 miles) |
| Arlecdon Parks Road Cso United Utilities | Eller Gill | 58 | 88 | 730 m (0.5 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
3 of the street's 5 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; 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 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: 5 to 10% (1); 10 to 30% (5).
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 28 addresses are between 148 m and 184 m above sea level (163 m on average); the ground rises about 37 m from the lowest to the highest.

Nearest schools
| School | Phase | Ages | Distance | Inspection | Exam results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arlecdon Primary School | Primary | 2–11 | 900 m (0.6 miles) | No published inspection | 56% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 0% at the higher standard (2023) |
| Frizington Nursery School | Nursery | 3–5 | 1 km (0.6 miles) | No published inspection | |
| Frizington Community Primary School | Primary | 4–11 | 1 km (0.6 miles) | Good (Sep 2023, overall grade under the previous framework) | 70% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 15% at the higher standard (2025; 55% in 2024 and 24% in 2023) |
| St Joseph's Catholic Primary School Roman Catholic | Primary | 4–11 | 1.3 km (0.8 miles) | No published inspection | 25% at the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, 13% at the higher standard (2024; 14% in 2023) |
| Kirkland Church of England Academy | Primary | 2–11 | 1.9 km (1.2 miles) | Good (May 2024, overall grade under the previous framework) | None published |
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.

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.
