Does Dunscroft flood?
What the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk data says about Dunscroft
Ordnance Survey places 188 postcodes in Dunscroft 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 3,777 properties in the EA dataset's likelihood bands.
| EA likelihood band | Postcodes (worst band) | Properties in the EA dataset | of which homes |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | 173 | 3,427 | 3,156 |
| Medium | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Low | 11 | 277 | 264 |
| Very low | 4 | 72 | 68 |
| All bands | 188 | 3,777 | 3,488 |
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.
