Does SP2 7DG flood?

Salisbury, Wiltshire

Up to High likelihood

Properties in SP2 7DG 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.

Low0.1% – 1%20
Very lowbelow 0.1%00
