Street naming and numbering

Information on how to name or change the name or number of a street or building.

Apply for street naming or numbering if you need:

  • 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
  • to add a property name to a numbered address
  • rename streets and renumber buildings

We do not create new post codes, but we get new ones from Royal Mail after new addresses have been agreed if needed.

Apply for a new or changed address

Once we have got your application, we will send you a reference number and a link to online payment.
