Roudham Poultry Station is a settlement in Norfolk, part of the West Suffolk council area.
Roudham Poultry Station inherits its flood band (Higher) from the wider West Suffolk council area because the Environment Agency does not publish settlement-level breakdowns for every UK location.

Met Office UKCP18 projections (50th percentile) estimate around 32 days above 25°C per year across the West Suffolk area, averaged over the 2021-2040 period under the RCP8.5 high emissions scenario. These are probabilistic projections - the 50th percentile is the central estimate within RCP8.5; the full range of modelled outcomes is wide and lower emissions scenarios would produce lower figures. Heat exposure within Roudham Poultry Station itself is uneven: top-floor flats, west-facing terraces and properties without through-ventilation hold heat well into the night, while ground-floor homes near tree cover or open ground cool faster. The headline 32-day figure is a council-level UKCP18 estimate (LAD resolution), not a property-level reading.
Annual mean PM2.5 across the West Suffolk area is 7.0 µg/m³ - above the World Health Organisation guideline of 5 µg/m³ and within the UK Environment Act 2021 target of 10 µg/m³ by 2040. Within Roudham Poultry Station, readings are not flat: postcodes within 200 metres of an A-road or major junction routinely run 30-50% higher during weekday rush hours than residential streets two roads back. The figure is a council-level Defra UK-AIR estimate (1km modelled grid).
Ground stability in Roudham Poultry Station follows the underlying geology more than the postal boundary. British Geological Survey shrink-swell mapping follows the underlying geology rather than postal boundaries, and neighbouring streets can sit in different bands where the mapped clay unit ends. Pre-1980 housing on clay-rich ground is the most exposed; properties on bedrock or well-drained sandy soils are typically lower-risk. A postcode-level check picks up that variation.
