Street naming and numbering

Applying for street naming and numbering

Harrow Council is responsible for the naming and numbering of new or existing streets and buildings within the borough boundaries.

If you wish to name or number a new development, sub divide an existing property, or change the name or numbers of an existing property or development, then you will need to apply to us.

New developments, renaming or adding a name to existing property

If your application is for a new development or to rename or add a name to an existing property you will need to supply three additional names.

This is in case the first name is objected to in the consultation. Please see our street naming and numbering guidance.

How to apply for a change in street naming or numbering

Please use the button below to download the application form.

Your application must include the following:

  • Site plan, clearly showing the external entrance to each affected property
  • Floor plan, clearly showing the external entrance to each affected property
  • Copy of planning approval
  • The relevant fee (see our street naming and numbering fees page.)

There is a 28-day consultation period. If any proposed name results in an objection the consultation period will restart.

Find out more about the application process by viewing our street naming or numbering procedure.
