Street Naming and Numbering - New Development

If you are a Developer, you should contact the Address Management team as soon as you start work on site. We have a standard letter (see link on below) of reply, detailing the information we need to process the naming of any new streets, and the numbering of your new properties.

This can be returned by post or e-mailed with the appropriate plans to the Council.

We will check your suggested street names for duplication in the local area and forward them to the Ward Councillor/s for the area, the Parish council and Royal Mail for consultation. When we have an agreed name, we will then register the street name/s and prepare a numbering schedule.

The information is then sent to all public utilities, emergency services, Land Registry, Ordnance Survey, Hampshire County Council, and internal departments. You will also be sent a copy of the naming and numbering schedule from which we would ask you to inform all your prospective purchasers of their new property address.

Where appropriate, you will be asked to provide new street name plates to our standard design and a cost will be provided at the appropriate time.
