Regarding development time, I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a
module/function/component someone has already written to validate a

Write once, use often.
If you want to validate and format a postcode in PHP or JavaScript, this
works well:

If you want to verify a postcode (i.e. check that it actually exists),
use the MaPit API:

I have a minimal library if you just want to check postcodes and are
using PHP:
