Street Naming and Numbering Guidance Notes

Renaming and Renumbering of Streets and Buildings

Residents of the affected street will be consulted, and their views will be taken into account. We will also consult the Royal Mail.
Local residents will be balloted on the issue. At least a two-thirds majority will be required to make the change.
In extreme cases, the Council may use its powers under the relevant act to enforce the street name change
On rare occasions, it may be necessary to rename or renumber a street. This is usually only done as a last resort when:

There is confusion over a street's name and/or numbering
A group of residents are unhappy with their street name
New properties are built and there is a need for other properties to be renumbered to accommodate the new properties
The number of named-only properties in a street is deemed to be causing confusion for visitors, delivery or emergency services.
