Does NR10 flood?

Yes — parts of the NR10 district carry real flood risk: 10 of its 29 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The NR10 postcode district covers Buxton, Horsford and Felthorpe, Hevingham, Reepham, close to Ingworth, Corpusty, and surrounding villages in Norfolk.

29 postcodes in the NR10 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 10 high, 8 medium, 11 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
