Is Great Denham at risk of flooding?

11 of the 70 postcodes in Great Denham have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts none of the homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 11 of 70 postcodes Low: 88

It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
