Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire
Up to Low likelihood
Properties in GL56 0AF sit in the Environment Agency's Low 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.
| Likelihood band | Annual chance | Properties | Of which homes |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | greater than 3.3% | 0 | 0 |
| Medium | 1% – 3.3% | 0 | 0 |
| Low | 0.1% – 1% | 1 | 1 |
| Very low | below 0.1% | 0 | 0 |
Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a low-likelihood area has a 2–22% chance of flooding at least once.
GL56 0AF gets about 719 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month December, 73 mm; driest March, 48 mm). That is 38% drier than the UK as a whole, which averages 1,163 mm a year.
A thirty-year average for the surrounding area, not a measurement at this address and not a flood risk on its own: a dry area floods when a storm sits over it, and a wet one may drain away perfectly well.

The ground here sits at about 128 m above sea level and falls 10 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the south-west, 2.0 m higher.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is Moreton-in-Marsh Stream, about 290 m from the centre of GL56 0AF. It flows into the River Evenlode about 300 m downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on Moreton-in-Marsh Stream nearest the centre of GL56 0AF. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
Because properties in the low likelihood band; 3 recorded flood outlines mapped nearby; 27 official warnings since 2006.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around GL56 0AF. 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.
| Date | Mapped flood extent | Approx. distance |
|---|---|---|
| Jul 2007 | Moreton-in-Marsh_Fluvial Water | ~0.2 km |
| Jul 2007 | Moreton-in-Marsh CP_Fluvial Water | ~0.3 km |
| Jul 2007 | Moreton-in-Marsh CP_Surface Water | ~0.6 km |
These are extents the Environment Agency has mapped, not a list of every flood. Records, not floods: no outline on the record is not evidence a place has not flooded. The full report tests whether any extent covered the exact spot.
