When new developments are built the naming and numbering of buildings and streets are dealt with by Building Control.

We undertake negotiations with owners and developers, internal and external departments and agencies to ensure that street names are suitable and that no duplication or similarity exists which could lead to confusion. Once identification has been approved, we inform statutory undertakers, post office and emergency services.

The owner or developer in writing can make an application for street naming and numbering to Building Control. There are no fees payable in respect of this work.
