Are new homes being built in Holmes Chapel?

16 of the 197 postcodes now in use in Holmes Chapel came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to September 2025, 24 of the 167 homes sold in Holmes Chapel were newly built (14%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the CW4 district, 10%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Is Holmes Chapel at risk of flooding?

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 12 of 197 postcodes High: 5Medium: 8Low: 35Very low: 3

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. 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.
