Apply to name or number a property or development

Guidance on how to apply to name or number a property or development.

Street naming and numbering is a statutory function of a council to allocate property numbers or names and street names to new developments and property conversions. Individuals and developers must not allocate their own house names, numbers, building or street names.

Please apply as soon as possible, after receiving planning permission, to arrange for the allocation of addresses, referring to the street naming and numbering policy criteria before making your application.
