Street & House Naming & Numbering

We are responsible for the naming and numbering of streets and properties with the Dover District. We refer to Royal Mail for the allocation of postcodes.

Royal Mail delays

Please note that following a major software upgrade, Royal Mail is currently experiencing delays in issuing new postcodes and making changes to their Postcode Address File (PAF).

They are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, but this will have a knock-on effect for any Street and House Name and Numbering applications.

 

• Register new developments (properties and streets)
• Add or change a house name 
  Only for properties that do not have a number. A name may be used in addition to the number without permission but the number is the main identifier of the property and must always be used.
• Report a missing or damaged street nameplate
• Report damaged road signs to Kent County Council
