I have planning permission, how are addresses allocated?
Official addresses are only allocated when planning permission
has been granted, construction work has commenced and prior
to any occupation. New road names require the consultation and
agreement of various offical bodies including the Emergency
Serivces and Royal Mail. When proposing road names they must not
duplicate or be similar to exisitng road names in the area.
They should have a historical connection.
How long does this process take?
It will take six to eight weeks for the Street naming and
numbering team to issue official addresses. It is the
developer's responsibility to contact the authority promptly to
allow sufficient time for addresses to be issued.
Do I need to send any information?
To allocate official addresses we require two site plans of the
development layout as used for getting planning approval. For
apartments or flats plans will be required for each floor.
You need to ask for official addresses before the
premises are occupied but wait until construction has
started. Send this information to highways@peterborough.gov.uk
