Street Name and Numbering Request Introduction
Street Naming and Numbering Charges
Street naming and numbering
The appropriate naming and numbering of streets and buildings is important for identifying property in general, record keeping (eg responses to emergencies by ambulance, police and fire services). Furthermore, all addresses are recorded in the NLPG (National Land and Property Gazetteer) in an official and consistent format.
In order to preserve some sense of history wherever possible developers are encouraged to consider road names that have some local significance.
Street naming and numbering applications can be made by sending your request to the Building Control office.
