Up to High likelihood
Properties in PL14 3LJ sit in the Environment Agency's High 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% | 2 | 2 |
| Medium | 1% – 3.3% | 2 | 2 |
| Low | 0.1% – 1% | 3 | 3 |
| Very low | below 0.1% | 0 | 0 |
Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a high-likelihood area has at least a 57% chance of flooding at least once.
PL14 3LJ gets about 1,491 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month December, 184 mm; driest June, 85 mm). That is 28% wetter 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 89 m above sea level and falls 53 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the north-west, 50.3 m higher.

The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around PL14 3LJ. 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.
None mapped within ~1 km of this postcode's centre.
No recorded outline near this postcode means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record. The full report tests every other flood source at the exact building.
