Street naming and numbering

We set up addresses for all new developments in the district. Individuals and developers must not allocate their own addresses before applying for an official address through us.

We are also responsible for approving and registering address changes to existing properties. You need to apply to:

  • Name a new road.
  • Create a new address.
  • Change an address.
  • Rename an existing street.
  • Assign a name to an existing unnamed street.

We are the only organisation which can amend your address, except for Royal Mail in relation to the postcode.  Some other companies may claim they can amend your address, but it is likely to be more cost effective and efficient to contact us directly, rather than using a third party organisation.

Please complete an application form, with the location and floor plans showing plot numbers and door access.

Request it now   

When we receive your application:

  • The site will be located and proposals checked for suitability.
  • You will be advised of the application fee.
  • If acceptable the address will be updated on the national land and property gazetteer.
  • The Royal Mail and other holders of address information will be notified.
  • We will write to you to confirm that the change has been made.

Further information is available in our Street naming and numbering policy document.

Once we have received your application you will be advised by a member of the Street Naming and Numbering team of the application fee.
