Up to Low likelihood
Properties in LS19 7FU 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 | 0 |
| 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.
LS19 7FU gets about 866 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month December, 88 mm; driest April, 56 mm). That is 26% 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 154 m above sea level and falls 56 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the east-south-east, 24.4 m higher.
The river map has no watercourse within 1 km of the centre of LS19 7FU.
That means this spot is not on the river map, not that there is no water here: Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers) leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
Because properties in the low likelihood band; 3 recorded flood outlines mapped nearby; 164 official warnings since 2006.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around LS19 7FU. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Feb 2022 | 2022 February Flood Incident -Storm Dudley, Eunice and Franklin | ~9.1 km |
| Jan 2021 | 2021 January Flood Incident - Storm Christoph | ~3.7 km |
| Feb 2020 | 2020 February Flood Incident - Storm Dennis | ~48.4 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.
