Once planning permission has been granted for a new development,
the developer should submit a site layout plan to the Property
Information Team for the allocation of property addresses.
If new streets require naming, we will ask the developer to
submit street name proposals. When considering the new street names
we will ensure that the proposed names will not cause confusion,
cannot be mis-spelt, are unique to the vicinity and are unlikely to
offend anyone. We also consult the relevant parish or town council
for their comments on the proposed names.
Once agreement for the names has been reached, we will allocate
numbers to the properties and a draft naming and numbering schedule
is sent to the developer for comment.
On occasions the developer is happy for the parish or town
council to propose suitable street names. On these
occasions we will consult with the parish or town council and
send the developer a draft naming and numbering schedule for
comment when names have been agreed.
Renumbering of existing schemes
If, due to a change in the layout of a development site, a
superseded numbering scheme needs to be issued after the approved
naming and numbering scheme has been formally issued, there will be
a charge of £64 for each plot or property that requires
re-addressing -

Additional and relocation of street nameplates

the relocation of existing signage you should contact the Property

Postcodes
The Council is not responsible for the allocation of postcodes,
this is the responsibility of Royal Mail. However, Royal Mail will
not issue a postcode for a new street or property until we advise
it that the street or property address has been agreed.
