Planning screening context
This is a broad place-level prompt for further due diligence, based on postcode centroids that intersect the Environment Agency’s planning flood zones. It does not assess the flood risk of an individual property or determine insurance availability.
Centroids in Flood Zone 2 or 3

4,957 of 146,791 live postcode centroids
Centroids in Flood Zone 3

Higher-probability planning zone; still not a property-level result
Flood Zones show present-day rivers-and-sea planning context and ignore the benefit of defences. Check the official map and obtain site-specific advice before relying on it. Source: Environment Agency Flood Map for Planning – Flood Zones, revised 20 May 2026.
