Does B78 2DE flood?

Kingsbury, Warwickshire

Up to Medium likelihood

Properties in B78 2DE sit in the Environment Agency's Medium flood-likelihood band (worst property). The band is the worst found in the postcode — it describes the land around properties (defence-adjusted, rivers & sea), not any single address, and not today's conditions.

High	greater than 3.3%	0	0
Medium	1% – 3.3%	6	6
Low	0.1% – 1%	0	0
Very low	below 0.1%	0	0
