SCHOOL STANDARDS
If you have a family, chances are education in the area will have a big influence on your move. So here you’ll find details and results for all the local
nurseries, primary and secondary schools.
It’s such an important decision. If you have school age children, you’ll naturally want to know as much as possible about the quality and accessibility of schools in the area. That’s
why we’ve brought together all the essential information, including performance data compared with national averages for schools nearby (for more details of a specific school’s
performance, simply visit www.ofsted.gov.uk and click on ‘inspection reports’).
Applying for a place
Once you’ve chosen your preferred primary or
secondary schools it’s important to look at the
admissions criteria, as they can differ from school to
school. If the one you’ve chosen is popular, it’ll give
you an idea of how likely you are to get a place there.
Then when you do apply, make sure you do it well in
advance – as far ahead as the Autumn Term a year
before your child is due to start.
Getting the results
Secondary schools generally send out placement letters
on 1st March. The dates for primary schools vary, so
check with the local authority. Your contact details for
this particular property are:

YOUR GREEN GUIDE
We can all benefit from being environmentally-friendly… not to mention saving you a small fortune over the course of a year. Here you’ll find a variety
of information about the local environment for this particular property, and its energy efficiency.
It’s up to all of us to make a difference. Whether it’s recycling with the help of
the local authority or using an alternative energy source, it’s easy for everyone to
do their bit (for information on anything from environmental health to pollution and
recycling, the local authority’s website should help).
It’s also important to know whether or not your potential new home is at risk of being flooded,
The Energy Saving Trust estimates you need an annual average wind speed of 6m/s or more
to make a turbine effective, with no major obstacles nearby (such as buildings, trees or hills) to
reduce the speed or cause turbulence.
The average wind speed for this area is 4.7 m/s
Energy Performance Certificate
Recycling at home
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is designed to help people understand a home’s
energy efficiency and its impact on the environment. It uses a rating system from A to G, A
being most energy efficient. A qualified energy assessor creates the EPC, which shows the
home’s current rating and some effiiciency recommendations.
Easy to do and resulting in less waste being sent to landfill, recycling is actively encouraged by
the local council. They’ll be able to provide you with recycling bins and boxes, a timetable of
kerbside collection dates and more. Here are the details for contacting them, and of the nearest
recycling centre.
Every property marketed for sale or rent is required to have an EPC, which is always accompanied
by a report listing various recommendations together with the potential improvements to the
building’s energy rating.
so we’ve included info on that too. And finally, you’ll see just how energy-efficient this particular
property is – together with a few suggestions as to how it can be improved.
Recycling naturally
Other useful ways of recycling include composting food waste and reducing water usage
by fitting a water but to downpipes. Many local authorities have special schemes (including
discounted products) to encourage both – just call them for details.
Water meters
Another way to save water is by having a water meter – which can cut bills by as much as
£200 a year. The general rule is if there are more bedrooms than people in a house, it’s worth
having one; alternatively, the local water company can provide a ‘calculator’ to help work out
how much might be saved in a particular property.

With 40% of Europe’s wind energy flowing over Britain, it could be worth fitting a domestic
wind turbine. It’s one of the greenest sources of energy available, and through feed-in tariffs
you get paid for any energy you generate even if you use it. What you don’t use can be
exported to the local grid (you get paid for that too!) – and you can store energy in batteries
for when there is no wind.

be compared with another. Always check the date the certificate was issued, because fuel prices can
increase over time and energy saving recommendations will evolve.
To see how this home can achieve its potential rating please see the recommended measures.

FLOOD RISK MAP FOR THE PROPERTY
Flood risk
According to the Environment Agency, millions of people in the UK live in areas at
risk of flooding, so it’s worth knowing in advance about the home you’re looking at.
Definitions
A Zone 2 floodplain has an annual probability of flooding of between 1 in 1000
(0.1%) and 1% from rivers and 0.5% from the sea. A Zone 3 floodplain’s annual
probability is 1 in 100 (1%) or greater from rivers and 1 in 200 (0.5%) from the sea.
If available, the highest known flood level may be shown.
Other types of flooding can affect properties – for details on getting
a full flood report, contact The Property Intelligence People.

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN
Thinking you might make a few alterations? Or want to know what other people are planning to build nearby? Either way, you’ll find all you need to
know here.
Planning Application Process
If you’re looking at making changes to your new home such as an
extension or conversion, you may well need planning permission.
Submitting an application is easier than you think. You can get
all the advice you need from your local council, who will consider
applications in line with the local development plan.
Points for consideration are:
- Number, size, layout, siting and the external appearance of
buildings
- Proposed access
- Landscaping and how it will affect the local neighbourhood
- The availability of services, such as roads and water supply
Contact the planning department of your local
planning authority for advice

Note. An Exact match is one where the property has been located within one metre of it’s central position.
A proximity match is where and exact match could not be made. This may be for several reasons such as an incomplete postal address, a new build having yet been allocated a postal address by Royal Mail or a large project – eg: a road or major property
development covering a large land area that we cannot give exact location to.
The Planning Applications section of this report contains data under licence from Emap Glenigan. Emap Glenigan is the largest provider of planning data in the UK. The company has been collecting and processing data since 1973. Emap Glenigan tracks
applications from the initial planning and tender through to contracts awarded. This Planning Report contains the most up to date commercially available information on planning applications made in the vicinity of the subject property over the last 10 years.
Please note that the location of the project applications (exact) relates to a point within the development, and does not represent the nearest border. The location of the project applications (proximity) is estimated from the site address details and should not
be considered as an accurate representation of the project’s location.
Please note that due to differing methodologies adopted by Local Authorities, some planning applications identified as having been Wwithin this report which would have a bearing on a purchaser’s decision if they were to have been granted, you are advised
to seek further clarification from the Local Authority on the applications status.
While GroundSure makes every effort to ensure that data is sourced from reliable providers, it is unable to ensure that the information is accurate, complete or up to date. Therefore, if the existence or absence of an application for or grant of planning permission
will have material effect on any decision to purchase land, GroundSure advises that a specific enquiry should be made to the local authority.
This request is produced in accordance with GroundSure Standard Terms and conditions. A copy of which can be made available on request.
