Address management

The address management function creates and amends official addresses and names streets.

There is no statutory requirement to register a house name in association with a numbered property and therefore the Council will not process requests of this nature

You need to apply to do any of the following

• Change the existing name (not applicable to numbered properties) of your property (AM Form 1)
• Obtain official addresses for new properties (AM Form 2)
• Obtain official addresses for existing properties (AM Form 3)
• Name a new street (AM Form 2)
• Name an existing unnamed street (AM Form 4)
• Rename an existing named street (AM Form 4)
• Amend your property address (e.g. revised street and postcode) (AM Form 5)

Further information can be found in our Street Naming & Numbering advice.
