Since December 2025: 2 planning applications and 2 planning decisions. Each dot is one of them, in the month it happened. Our planning records start in April 2026 and our council papers in September 2025, and street problems show only while they are open, so earlier months may look quieter than they really were.

Planning and building here

Closing dates you can still act on, applications and decisions on the street, appeals, the protections that cover it, and the council's land and licensing papers.

Planning on this street

Every planning application and decision we hold for Old Roar Road, 2 in all (2 granted and 0 refused), newest first. Our record starts on 21 April 2026, from the council’s weekly lists; earlier applications here are on the council’s own planning search. An application made before then appears only if it was decided since, and then without its earlier dates.

2026: 2 applications (2 granted and 0 refused)

Flood zones, the coast and protected nature

Flood zones

Part of Old Roar Road is in Flood Zone 3 (rivers). That is the Environment Agency’s flood map for planning, which shows land that could flood from rivers or the sea, ignoring the benefits of any existing flood defences.

Locations in flood zone 3 have a high probability of flooding.

This means, in any year, land has:

  • a 1% (1 in 100) or more chance of flooding from rivers
  • a 0.5% (1 in 200) or more chance of flooding from the sea.

Flood zone 3 developments need a flood risk assessment as part of their planning application.

The Environment Agency’s words, from Flood zones and what they mean ↗.

A street’s line is not an address. For a particular address, use the Environment Agency’s Check your long term flood risk ↗; for a planning site, its Flood map for planning ↗. Flood warnings in force now are on Live now.

Protected nature

  • Old Roar Gill & Coronation Wood LNR ↗ (Local Nature Reserve): Old Roar Road’s line passes within about 60 m of it.
  • Ancient woodland: Old Roar Road’s line passes within about 100 m of 1 parcel on Natural England’s inventory (Old Roar Gill).
