Does SP11 7HB flood?

Up to Low likelihood

Properties in SP11 7HB 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 bandAnnual chancePropertiesOf which homes
Highgreater than 3.3%00
Medium1% – 3.3%00
Low0.1% – 1%11
Very lowbelow 0.1%00

Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a low-likelihood area has a 2–22% chance of flooding at least once.

How much rain falls on SP11 7HB

SP11 7HB gets about 823 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month November, 97 mm; driest May, 50 mm). That is 29% 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 watercourse nearest SP11 7HB

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Anton, about 50 m from the centre of SP11 7HB. It flows into the River Test about 6.1 km 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 the River Anton nearest the centre of SP11 7HB. 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.
