We are responsible for the naming and numbering of new or existing streets and buildings in the Epping Forest district.
New names for streets and buildings go through a consultation process that can take several weeks. Please contact us as early as possible, preferably before building work starts and before a development name has been marketed or publicised.
If you want to change the name/number of an existing property you must, by law, make an application to us.
