Numbering of properties in a new development and conversion of buildings
Royal mail delays
Royal Mail is currently experiencing delays in issuing new postcodes due to a recent software upgrade. They are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Please apply for your addressing at an early stage of development to avoid delays.
If you urgently require addressing to place orders with utility providers please request that we send base addressing for you to use the No Postcode Method when placing orders.
Where properties are to be numbered into an existing street it is still necessary to apply for your official addressing. This can take up to 8 weeks, depending on the size of the development.
Property conversions and changes of use also need to be numbered where there is a change in the number of units.
Payment of fees for addressing is currently being processed manually whilst our application form is updated. The team will contact you to confirm the fee payable. If you require an invoice, add it as note to your form.
To complete your application you will need:
- debit or credit card
- planning Permission number
- layout plan showing main entrances
- internal layout plan for flats or buildings containing multiple units
