It is not a boundary, and no boundary is drawn. Where marks overlap, the one first in the key is drawn; the counts include every postcode.

Are new homes being built in Littleborough?

10 of the 428 postcodes now in use in Littleborough came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 6 of the 219 homes sold in Littleborough were newly built (3%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the OL15 district, 2%.

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 Littleborough at risk of flooding?

88 of the 428 postcodes in Littleborough 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 515 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 88 of 428 postcodes High: 321Medium: 194Low: 245Very low: 23

High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.

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.
