No property in an EA risk band
No property in PR1 6PA 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 PR1 or get the full picture below.
PR1 6PA gets about 1,057 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month December, 121 mm; driest April, 56 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. Source: Met Office HadUK-Grid 1991–2020 (5 km grid), 2.6 km away. Average rainfall: HadUK-Grid v1.3.2, Met Office. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
The ground here sits at about 42 m above sea level and falls 20 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the north, 1.1 m higher.
The river map has no watercourse within 1 km of the centre of PR1 6PA.
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 1 recorded flood outline mapped nearby; 149 official warnings since 2006.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around PR1 6PA. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 1980 | RIBB | ~2.7 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.
