Area summary
CB7 sits in East Cambridgeshire District Council. The outcode covers Soham, Sutton, Witchford, Haddenham and surrounding Fen villages. Soham has a small market town centre. Many villages sit on small islands of higher land within the drained Fens, with significant flood risk on the surrounding low-lying agricultural land. Housing is mixed: older village cottages, Victorian terraces, postwar semis and newer estate development.

Employment patterns are commuter into Cambridge, Ely and Newmarket. The Cambridgeshire Fens are a major agricultural area.
