  • Streets that form a shape, as appropriate: Place, Crescent, Square, Court, Quadrant, Passage or Yard
  • Streets with a slope: Hill or Rise
  • If it is a cul-de-sac: Close
  • Streets that need to reflect the area or local interest: Avenue, Grove, Lane, Gardens, Terrace, Vale, End, View, Wharf, Walk, Park, Meadow, Side, Circle, Croft, Field, Gate, Green, Parade, Village, Garth, End, Dale
  • Properties with a frontage onto a pedestrian route: Walk, Path or Way
