Are new homes being built in Olney?

18 of the 189 postcodes now in use in Olney came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 13 of the 157 homes sold in Olney were newly built (8%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the MK46 district, 10%.

Is Olney at risk of flooding?

5 of the 189 postcodes in Olney 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 10 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 5 of 189 postcodes High: 10Low: 2

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.
