Naming and Renaming Streets and Properties

Street Naming and Numbering

Practical guides are available containing information on street naming and numbering:

• Obtaining street name addresses and postcodes for a new development
• Changing an existing street name (or part of) or proposing to name an existing street (or part of) that has no name

New Properties and Streets

Please email requests for street naming and numbering to 3720SNandN@stratford-dc.gov.uk and include the following information:

• your planning permission reference
• if naming a property, the name(s) you wish to put forward - these will be checked to ensure there are no repeats in the same postal area
• a correspondence address - preferably an email address - so we can inform you when the process had been completed
• a £25 charge payable per unit (unit being a dwelling, flat, or industrial, commercial or retail unit)

Please note that the above charge will also be incurred for subsequent re-numbering of developments that have been re-planned.

The registration charge must be paid at the time of making your submission by calling 01789 260689 or 01789 260322.
