7.1. Re-naming of a street is usually only considered if the existing name causes problems for the Emergency Services.

7.2. Where a street is to be re-named, notices will be displayed on that street under Section 18 of the Public Health Act 1925 and will remain in place for at least 1 calendar month before an Order changing the name will be made. A copy of the Order will be sent to the Magistrate Courts informing them of the proposed change.

7.3. Where a naming and/or numbering scheme is issued, the Local Authority will inform those bodies listed in Appendix B. The Council will allow 21 days for consultation and receipt of any objections.

7.4. Any relevant fees that are applicable will be made known upon submission of the initial application.

7.5. If an application from a person proposing street name is rejected by the council within one month of receipt of the application, the applicant has 21 days to lodge an appeal against the objection via the Magistrates’ Court. The 1925 Act reserves the right for the council to reject a street name, if using this act.
