Not in an at-risk area
IP21 5HQ has no properties in any Environment Agency recorded flood-risk band. That is good news — but it is area-level and never proof a place cannot flood (surface-water and sewer flooding are assessed separately). See the at-risk postcodes in IP21 or get the full picture below.
Because 3 recorded floods nearby; 142 official warnings since 2006.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around IP21 5HQ. The small panels are illustrative previews of the report's per-layer map views — the full report draws each layer for real, plus recorded extents, defences and a building picker on an interactive map.
Warnings cover flood areas, not individual addresses.

|---|---|---|
| Dec 2013 | 2013 Flood Outline | ~2.6 km |
| Jan 1968 | 1968 September Flood Outline | ~46.3 km |
| Jan 1953 | 1953 Coast Flood Outline Suffolk | ~26.9 km |
EA Recorded Flood Outlines — absence of a record never proves a place has not flooded. The full report tests whether any extent covered the exact spot.
