Flood zones, the coast and protected nature

Flood zones

Part of St Helen's Avenue is in Flood Zone 2 (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 2 have a medium probability of flooding.

This means, in any year, land has:

  • between a 1% and 0.1% (between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000) chance of flooding from rivers
  • between a 0.5% and 0.1% (between 1 in 200 and 1 in 1,000) chance of flooding from the sea.

Flood zone 2 developments need a flood risk assessment as part of their planning application.

Who looks after this street

Not adopted. East Sussex County Council’s map names St Helen's Avenue but shows none of it as adopted, so the county doesn’t maintain it. It may be a private road or a private street (an unadopted highway): “Private streets are also known as unadopted public highways and are different to private roads. Private streets are also maintained by the owners rather than the County Council but are open to the public.” (the council’s page)

The county’s Highway Land Information Team answers questions about road adoption (highwaysearches@eastsussex.gov.uk, 01273 482 316).

From East Sussex County Council’s map of adopted roads, read 12 October 2026. © East Sussex County Council 2026. Only the street’s name and whether it is adopted are used: the county’s map is the record, and its Highway Land Information Team confirms a road’s status. Who looks after what
