Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.

Tree preservation order: Land Rear 54 Vicarage grove
Consent is needed before work on protected trees. A single protected tree within 15 m, nearest 11 m.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
