No property in an EA risk band
No property in PL24 2EH 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 PL24 or get the full picture below.
PL24 2EH gets about 1,185 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month December, 145 mm; driest June, 67 mm). That is close to 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 101 m above sea level and falls 61 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the north-north-west, 9.8 m higher.
The river map has no watercourse within 1 km of the centre of PL24 2EH.
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 6 recorded flood outlines mapped nearby; 276 official warnings since 2006.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around PL24 2EH. 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.

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.
