For the naming and numbering of new streets and properties please use our Street and Property Naming and Numbering Form.
Properties that have a number
Please do not apply for the addition of a name to a property that has a number. A name may be used in addition to the number without permission but the number is the main identifier of the property and must always be used.
Properties without a number
Names will be considered in consultation with the Royal Mail. If the proposed name is similar to any other house of road locally it will be rejected and another name will have to be considered.
You must be the owner of the property to make this application.
