Address management

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

Address Processing Delay

Royal Mail have recently implemented a new system and are experiencing a significant backlog of address related requests.  The response to your application to the Council is therefore currently taking much longer then would normally be the case.

You may wish to contact Royal Mail for an update by calling 03456 011110.

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.  If you are considering using a house name with your numbered property, you must continue to display the allocated number. Contact 1625LLPG@stroud.gov.uk for further advice 

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 properties numbered directly to named streets) (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)

Further information can be found in the Address Management and Street Naming & Numbering Protocol
