No property in an EA risk band
No property in CV47 2EF appears in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset. That dataset covers one of five flood sources. It is area-level, it covers rivers and the sea only, and it is never proof a place cannot flood — surface water, groundwater, sewers and reservoirs are assessed separately. See the at-risk postcodes in CV47 or get the full picture below.
Because 1 recorded flood nearby; 140 official warnings since 2006.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around CV47 2EF. The small panels are illustrative previews of the report's per-layer map views — the full report draws each layer for real, plus recorded extents, defences and a building picker on an interactive map.
Warnings cover flood areas, not individual addresses.
