Road traffic noise is measured at 58 dB Lden, above the noise standard, while railway and aircraft noise stay below their standards. The foundation risk indication is medium, partly because the home was built before 1970 and 71% of properties in this postcode area date from before that year. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is elevated, while flood risk is low now and in 2050; heat stress is low now but medium by 2050.
