Street naming and numbering

You will need to apply to the street naming and numbering service if you require:

• building to be named and/or numbered
• building to be renamed and/or numbered
• new street to be named/renamed
• adding, changing or removing a property name

All new properties require an official address, and contact with developers is made once a new development has received planning permission.

All requests for street naming and numbering are subject to fees and charges.

How to make an application

Apply for street naming and numbering

Complete the application form and submit a 1:1250 plan with your application. Each entrance to be numbered should be indicated on the plan with a red arrow. 

You will need the freeholder's permission before any change to the name or number of a building.

How long will it take

Once all relevant information has been provided, a decision on buildings for naming and/or renumbering will be given within 28 days.

For larger sites containing new streets and numbers, both public and private, this may take longer depending on its complexity and volume.
