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

Ordnance Survey places 32 postcodes in Normanton 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 192 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 Normanton

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Normanton watch River Calder, River Aire, Aire Washlands, Oakenshaw Beck, Oulton Beck, Ings Beck.

Distances are from the middle of Normanton's at-risk postcodes. Tidal and structure gauges are shown as readings only — the tide and sluice gates move them, not floods. A gauge with no recent reading shows no level.

The watercourse nearest Normanton

Two mapped watercourses are about the same distance from the middle of Normanton's at-risk postcodes: Sewerbridge Beck (about 160 m) and Wain Dike Beck (about 160 m), so this page cannot say which one is nearer to you.

Distances along the river are from the point on each watercourse nearest the middle of Normanton'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.
