Doehole is a settlement in Derbyshire, within North East Derbyshire council area. This page shows flood, heat, air quality, and subsidence risk data for Doehole, drawn from official UK government sources.
Flood risk in Doehole is rated Medium based on Environment Agency data for the North East Derbyshire area. Individual postcode flood risk can vary — check a specific address above for a postcode-level rating.
Heat risk in Doehole is moderate under current projections.

Properties in Doehole without adequate ventilation or insulation may face increasing summer heat stress and higher cooling costs as temperatures rise.
Air quality in Doehole averages 7.0 µg/m³ PM2.5, which is moderate — above the WHO annual mean guideline of 5 µg/m³. Defra UK-AIR monitoring data underpins this figure. PM2.5 levels are typically higher near busy roads, industrial areas, and dense urban centres, and lower in parks, green corridors, and residential backstreets.
Subsidence data for Doehole is sourced from the British Geological Survey GeoSure dataset, which maps clay shrink-swell risk across Great Britain. In areas with shrink-swell clay, foundations can shift as soils dry out in summer and re-wet in winter. Properties built before 1980 on clay-rich ground are most exposed.
