What the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk data says about Brompton

Ordnance Survey places 23 postcodes in Brompton in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset (Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea). Each postcode is counted once, under the worst band any of its properties reaches; together they hold 379 properties in the EA dataset's likelihood bands.

This dataset covers flooding from rivers and the sea only — one of five flood sources. Surface water, groundwater, sewers and reservoirs are assessed separately, so a postcode missing from it is not proof that a place cannot flood. The band describes the land around properties (allowing for defences), not any single address and not today's conditions.

Rivers and live river levels near Brompton

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Brompton watch Brompton Beck, Willow Beck, River Wiske, Cod Beck, Bedale Beck.

The watercourse nearest Brompton

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Brompton Beck, about 250 m from the middle of Brompton's at-risk postcodes. It flows into North Beck about 1.3 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 Brompton Beck nearest the middle of Brompton's at-risk postcodes. 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.
