No property in an EA risk band
No property in DE6 1EF 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 DE6 or get the full picture below.
The ground here sits at about 155 m above sea level and falls 59 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the north, 26.9 m higher.
Because 2 recorded floods nearby; 136 official warnings since 2006.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around DE6 1EF. 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.

|---|---|---|
| Dec 1960 | December 1960 (Upper Trent) | ~1.0 km |
| Jan 1947 | Derwent 1947 | ~15.6 km |
EA Recorded Flood Outlines — absence of a record never proves a place has not flooded. The full report tests whether any extent covered the exact spot.
