Tendring District Council is the Street Naming and
Numbering authority for the Tendring District. All proposals for
new street names and property numbers or changes of street or
property name in the District must, by law, be sent to the Council
for approval before being brought into use. The principal pieces of
legislation are:
This includes responsibility for:
- Erecting the names of public streets and ensuring that the
names and / or numbers of buildings are displayed by the owners in
accordance with Regulations made by the District Council, and
- Informing all owners and occupiers of naming and numbering
orders
It should be noted that the procedure for naming and numbering
new developments / conversions can be a lengthy one, which can take
several months from receipt of an application to final approval.
For this reason it is advisable that the Council is contacted at
the earliest possible stage (i.e. prior to work being commenced and
before marketing materials are produced). If an application is
submitted at a late stage (i.e. nearing completion) and is
subsequently rejected, numerous problems can arise for developers
and purchasers. Late applications can also lead to delays in
connection to services etc.
Read our Advice on Street Naming and Numbering of Streets
and Buildings for full details of the procedure to be
followed.
