Street naming and numbering

House numbers

To request a house number for a single property:

  1. You cannot request a number for a property until you've received building regulation approval. Apply for building regulation approval.
  2. You'll need to complete the online form.
  3. We'll contact you when you need to pay the relevant fee. 
  4. You'll need to attach a plan showing the internal layout, and a plan to show the position of the development in relation to other properties.
  5. You'll need to pass on the relevant information to the prospective purchasers of the property. You can only do this once we've allocated the numbers and informed utility companies, Land Registry, Royal Mail, emergency services, Ordnance Survey and all relevant council services.
