Are new homes being built in Minster?

9 of the 372 postcodes now in use in Minster came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 5 of the 272 homes sold in Minster were newly built (2%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the ME12 district, 9%.

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 Minster at risk of flooding?

64 of the 372 postcodes in Minster 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 78 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 64 of 372 postcodes High: 41Medium: 37Low: 191Very low: 864

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.

Police.uk says its locations "always represent the approximate location of a crime". Each crime is moved to the nearest of a fixed list of map points, each over a street centre, a public place or a commercial premises, chosen so that every point covers at least eight addresses or none. A mile is a wide circle: in a town it takes in the centre and its shops, where much crime is recorded.
