Street name and numbering application form

What happens next?

On receipt of your application we will:

  • assess your request
  • calculate the fees
  • contact you with any queries
  • consult with the emergency services and internal council departments 

If your proposals comply with the council's requirements for street naming and numbering, the new address will be formally allocated. Please be aware, only Royal Mail can allocate postcodes. We'll liaise with them during the application process to ensure the correct one is applied before notifying you of the final address.
