Braintree, England

The typical property in CB9

CB9 is Haverhill, a Suffolk town on the Cambridgeshire border, mixed older market town stock and significant newer estate development.

Area summary

CB9 sits in West Suffolk Council. The outcode covers Haverhill and surrounding villages. Haverhill is a small market town that grew rapidly during the postwar period as an expanded town under the new towns programme. Housing is mixed: older market town stock with some Victorian and Edwardian terraces, postwar estates from the 1960s and 1970s, and significant newer estate development from the 1990s onwards.

There is no station within CB9 (the Stour Valley line was closed in 1967 and the Haverhill station closed). Cambridge (CB1) and Audley End (CB11 area) are the closest mainline options. The A1307 provides road links to Cambridge.

Employment patterns are commuter into Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and the local industrial estates.

West Suffolk Council operates only mandatory HMO licensing. The Renters' Rights Act 2026 has abolished Section 21 evictions. The proposed 2030 EPC C standard, if enacted, will be more manageable on newer estate stock than on older terraces.
