Are new homes being built in Waddington?

19 of the 155 postcodes now in use in Waddington came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 5 of the 103 homes sold in Waddington were newly built (5%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the LN5 district, 3%.

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 Waddington at risk of flooding?

3 of the 155 postcodes in Waddington 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 6 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 3 of 155 postcodes High: 5Medium: 1

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.
