Street naming and numbering

Register a new address, change an address, apply for a new street name, apply for a new property name.

It is sometimes necessary to rename streets. For example to:

  • accommodate new properties in a street
  • prevent confusion caused by existing names and numbers

The opinions of existing residents will be taken into account and Royal Mail will also be consulted. The process can be time consuming and possibly disruptive so we would always carefully consider whether there are obvious benefits beforehand.
