Does IP2 flood?

Yes — parts of the IP2 district carry real flood risk: 5 of its 77 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The IP2 postcode district covers Bridge, Gipping, Orwell, Sproughton & Pinewood, close to Woodbridge, Harwich, and surrounding villages in parts of Suffolk and Essex.

77 postcodes in the IP2 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 5 high, 16 low, 56 very low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
