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. Therefore, the Council will not routinely process requests of this nature.
You need to apply and then pay the appropriate fee to do any of the following
- Change the existing name of an officially addressed property (not applicable to numbered properties) (AM Form 1)
- Obtain official addresses (and postcodes) for new properties (AM Form 2)
- Obtain official addresses (and postcodes) 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)
