Street Naming and Numbering - New Property

If you are a Developer of a new property, you should contact the Address Management team as soon as you start work on site.

A single or small development will usually be named or numbered into the existing street. We have a standard letter (see link below) of reply, detailing the information we need to process the naming or numbering of your new property.

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

If the property is within a numbered road, then often abc's are used along with the adjoining number. If the street has named properties, then the development plot numbers will be used initially to register the property address.

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 registered address from which we would ask you to inform your prospective purchasers of their new property address and, in the case of a named property, ask them to contact us will alternative names for their property.

We will then follow our standard process of Property Name Change
