Building Names

The Council has no power to agree or refuse a building name. We do however request that you contact the Building Control Partnership in writing informing them of your chosen name.

House Naming Form

The Building Control Partnership will:-

• Check the name against our database, to make sure where ever possible that no one else has registered the name in the area.
• We will then confirm in writing the acceptance of the name.
• We will also send you a list of Statutory Bodies who may need to be notified.
• We will enter the new name in the councils National Land & Property Gazetteer.
• Any name chosen should not be similar to any other in the immediate locality and advice will be given on this.

We have no objection to a house name being added to an existing postal address but it cannot replace the street number, which must always used.
