The New Street Name Selection Procedure
The Developer can submit suggestions for street names for a
particular development. If the developer has no suggestions the
Street Naming and Numbering Team will select a name. If time
allows, Ward Members and Parish Councils will be asked for
suggestions, but generally they are encouraged to put forward
suggestions in advance to ensure that their ideas are known.
Suggestions are then placed on the Street Naming Register of
possible names for use.
In situations where proposals are put forward to name streets
after individuals, careful consideration has to be given to the
suitability. The Council will only exceptionally name streets after
a living individual. The Street Naming and Numbering team, wherever
possible, support the use of proposed names that reflect local
history and heritage.
