How calculated

Sum of complete unique source areas

Source areas

9871 / 9871

Counts companies whose REGISTERED OFFICE is this postcode. A registered office is not a place of business: accountants and company-formation agents register thousands of companies at a single address, so a large number here usually means one agent rather than a business district. Sole traders and ordinary partnerships are not on the register at all, so this undercounts businesses as most people use the word. Only companies with an active status on the monthly snapshot are counted; dissolved and liquidating companies are excluded. No address, company name or officer detail is stored or shown.

Of the active companies registered at this postcode, how many were incorporated in the twelve months before the snapshot. Company formation is cheap and common, and a new company is not a new business or a new job -- many never trade. Where a formation agent uses this postcode, this number counts the agent's throughput rather than local activity. No company or address detail is stored or shown.

A modelled figure for a 4 kWp roof-mounted array facing the best direction at the best angle with nothing shading it, assuming 14% system losses. It is what this LOCATION could support, not a prediction for any particular house. A north-facing roof yields around 40% of a south-facing one at the same address, and shading from a single tree can cost more than moving hundreds of miles north.

This is the estimated chance that a home in this 1 km square exceeds the 200 Bq/m³ radon Action Level. It is NOT a measurement of radon at this address, and no map can tell you what any individual property contains — only a test in the property itself can, over three to six months. The mapping is also deliberately precautionary: BGS class each square by the HIGHEST radon potential found anywhere within it, so most homes in a square have a lower potential than the band shown. It does not apply to basements, cellars or underground rooms at all, which should be treated as higher risk wherever they are. For a definitive assessment of a specific address, UKHSA's UKradon service sells an address report.

How calculated

Counts using consistent category definitions

Source areas

750 / 750

UKHSA define a radon Affected Area as one where at least one home in a hundred is expected to exceed the Action Level. This applies that definition to the indicative 1 km band, so it inherits the same precaution: the square is classed by its worst point, and most homes inside an Affected Area are not above the Action Level. Being inside one is a reason to test, not a finding about this property.
