Does IP7 flood?

Yes — parts of the IP7 district carry real flood risk: 26 of its 55 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The IP7 postcode district covers South East Cosford, Brett Vale, Box Vale, close to Hadleigh, Boxford, Polstead, and surrounding villages in Suffolk.

55 postcodes in the IP7 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 26 high, 11 medium, 18 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
