Are new homes being built in Ludlow?

18 of the 372 postcodes now in use in Ludlow came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 3 of the 173 homes sold in Ludlow were newly built (2%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the SY8 district, 8%.

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.

Is Ludlow at risk of flooding?

33 of the 372 postcodes in Ludlow 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 120 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 33 of 372 postcodes High: 75Medium: 45Low: 166

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.
