Not in an at-risk area
TQ13 7SS has no properties in any Environment Agency recorded flood-risk band. That is good news — but it is area-level and never proof a place cannot flood (surface-water and sewer flooding are assessed separately). See the at-risk postcodes in TQ13 or get the full picture below.
The ground here sits at about 255 m above sea level and falls 194 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the west, 58.8 m higher.
Because 225 official warnings since 2006.
