Hazlemere Flood Risk

Hazlemere has no mapped rivers-and-sea flood risk: neither the national risk assessment nor the planning Flood Zone map covers it.

Hazlemere has 20,145 residents and 8,779 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 Hazlemere's Flood Risk Classification Mean?

0% of postcodes in Hazlemere 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 Hazlemere'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.
