Does NR7 flood?

Yes — parts of the NR7 district carry real flood risk: 9 of its 11 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The NR7 postcode district covers Thorpe St Andrew South East, close to Surlingham, Rockland St Mary, Wroxham, and surrounding villages in Norfolk.

11 postcodes in the NR7 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 9 high, 1 medium, 1 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
