Source: data.police.uk. Street-level locations are approximate and the data is updated monthly.
This is a count of reports, not a crime-rate score. Police.uk deliberately moves incident locations to nearby map points to protect privacy, so it should be used to understand the wider area rather than a particular house or street corner.

Useful to know
Nearby places and outdoor features: © OpenStreetMap contributors via Overpass. Prison points are cached in a local Place Keys dataset so ordinary proximity checks do not repeatedly call an external service.
Distances are straight-line estimates. Parking charges are shown only where the source explicitly marks a car park as free or paid; otherwise Place Keys leaves that detail out.

AIRCRAFT & AIRPORTS
Nearest major airport: Stansted Airport
Stansted Airport is about 4.4 miles away. Airport distance is a starting point only and does not show whether a home is under a flight path.
What does this mean?
Source: Defra strategic airport-noise mapping (2022) and airport location data. Airport distance is straight-line distance and does not mean a home is directly under a flight path.
This postcode is not in a strategic aircraft-noise band that we can quote from the national map. That does not guarantee you will never hear aircraft.
