Beaconsfield Flood Risk

Beaconsfield has no mapped rivers-and-sea flood risk: neither the national risk assessment nor the planning Flood Zone map covers it. That is not a statement that Beaconsfield cannot flood — this figure covers rivers and the sea only, and surface water flooding is not included. The nearest gauge is 5.9 km away.

Beaconsfield has 14,040 residents and 6,061 homes. Ranked equal 3078 of 7,114 — the places where the national risk assessment maps no rivers-and-sea exposure for any home, so the position is a tie rather than a low score.

What Does Beaconsfield's Flood Risk Classification Mean?

0% of postcodes in Beaconsfield sit in Flood Zone 3, the planning band for land with a 1% or greater annual chance of river flooding or 0.5% or greater of sea flooding — and the map that draws it deliberately ignores flood defences.

The flood risk band for rivers and the sea is not mapped here, which means the national assessment finds no rivers-and-sea exposure for Beaconsfield's homes rather than a low amount of it. That is a statement about rivers and the sea only: surface water flooding is not included, and it is the larger source nationally.
