Properties in Diss which are built in close proximity to the River Waveney, in streets such as Titchfield Hill and Wallington Shore Road, are in areas where flood warnings and alerts are issued from time to time. If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details). | A recent Environmental Search taken out for a property in The Street, Rickinghall, Diss, Norfolk, IP22 1BN, stated that it was within 250m of an area where there is the potential for ground instability relating to non-coal mining. The British Geological Survey has assessed that hazards because of underground non-coal mine workings in this area are highly likely. This area is known or suspected to contain underground mining for minerals and/or other materials where workings are likely to be extensive. This is not necessarily cause for concern; a house buyer's survey should be considered to test for signs of property damage which may relate to non-coal mining. Additionally, it should be noted that there is always the possibility of excavations that are outside of the scope of this dataset which could affect ground stability. | Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Diss area mainly centre around the main road – A0166, Stanley Road, which is effecting streets and roads such as Sand Stone Way and Denmark Lane. |
