Green means all selected filters pass. One unmet condition is yellow, two orange and three or more red. Grey or hatching marks unknown evidence for filters that require it. The aircraft, road and railway noise filters only exclude areas with mapped noise at or above your limit. Colours keep their own areas without blending a failed or unknown area into green. Mapped water and parks keep their base-map colours without analytical shading. This is a land-cover display choice, not a survey of where homes can be built. With all preferences off, no analytical shading is shown. Use the information icon beside a preference for its source, data date and explanation.

Understand the limits

These are saved datasets, not live updates. Missing road readings are treated as low influence for every tolerance setting, without inventing a dB value. Missing aircraft noise readings pass the aircraft filter without a quietness guarantee. Missing walking or crime data cannot pass an enabled filter. Walks are estimates, not directions or guarantees of access. Noise and the Tube setback do not predict vibration or noise inside a home.
