The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many new homes were built within areas classified as flood zone 3 in 2024-2025.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

My Department does not hold data on how many new homes were built within areas classified as flood zone 3 in 2024-2025.

The proportion of new residential addresses built on national Flood Zone 3 is published by financial year in live table P320 of our ‘Land use change: new residential addresses’ release. The most recent figures are for 2021-22 and can be found on gov.uk here.
