Street naming and numbering is a
statutory function carried out by Suffolk Coastal, under the
provisions of Section 64 of the Town Improvement Clauses Act
1847 and Sections 17-19 of the Public Health Act 1925.
The Council is responsible for the definitive addresses of all
properties within the district. These addresses are held in our
Local Land and Property Gazetteer and are managed by the
Property Information Team. The gazetteers of all local
authorities are linked up to form a definitive index of land
and properties in England and Wales known as the
National Land and
Property Gazetteer (new window).
The Property Information Team deals with all requests for the
naming and numbering of new streets and properties and the renaming
of existing properties. To find out more follow the links

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.
