Are new homes being built in Tewkesbury?
12 of the 507 postcodes now in use in Tewkesbury came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 1 of the 222 homes sold in Tewkesbury were newly built (Under 1%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the GL20 district, 15%.
The newest postcodes
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.
New homes among the homes sold
| Period | In Tewkesbury | Across the GL20 district |
|---|---|---|
| The 12 months to August 2026 | 1 of 184 (Under 1%) | 16 of 352 (5%) |
| The 12 months to August 2025 | 1 of 222 (Under 1%) | 76 of 508 (15%) |
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.

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.
