Street naming and numbering
Information on how to name or change the name or number of a street or building.
Address management service
This service deals with the following types of application:
- addresses for new developments
- addresses for properties where the number of units is being changed, for example where a house is being converted into a number of self-contained flats
- changes to property names
- adding a property name to a numbered address
- renaming streets and renumbering buildings.
The council does not determine postcodes but, where necessary, gets new post codes from the Royal Mail after new addresses have been agreed.
Apply for a new or changed address
Once we have registered your application, we will send you a reference number and link to online payment of the street naming and numbering charge.
