Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Not at the pin: mapped about 10 metres away.

Planning map: Flood Zone 3, about 10 metres away.

Surface water

High risk (1 in 30)

Not at the pin: mapped about 20 metres away.
