Street naming and numbering

Register a new address, rename or renumber a street, apply for a property name, report a damaged or missing street name sign.

Addresses for new developments

If a development results in the creation of new properties, utility companies will not install services without an official postal address, including postcodes.

For new street naming we encourage developers, in liaison with local parish or town councils, to submit names for consideration.

We’ll contact the developer once we receive notification that building work has started on site. It should be made clear in any marketing literature distributed to prospective buyers that marketing names for developments are subject to approval and therefore liable to change. 

Large-scale developments

We have usually adopted a particular theme when deciding on the names to be used where large-scale developments have taken place. 

We also:

  • encourage the use of names that reflect the historical use of sites
  • provide a number of suggestions to be considered at an early stage

This page lists all new developments, do we need to keep it and why is it published? https://www.newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk/streetname/new-developments/
