Street naming and numbering guidance

3.1      Once an application has been received, the Council will check that there is no duplication of existing street names within the Borough.

3.2      The Council will check that the proposed street names accord with the General Naming Conventions, Street Naming Conventions and Building Naming and Numbering Conventions as outlined in Sections 4 - 6 of this document.

3.3       The Council will consult with Royal Mail and suggestions for new street names will be submitted to the appropriate Area Committee for consideration. We aim to have a reply from Royal Mail within 7 days but please note that as Area Committee's meet infrequently a response can take up to 8 weeks - longer during holiday periods.
