Street & House Naming & Numbering

The District Council is responsible for the naming and numbering of streets and properties. This includes all new developments and the adding of a name to or the change of name of an existing property.

If you are a developer you should write in at an early stage of the development with proposals for any street names, which should ideally have strong local connections, together with two copies of the site plan (preferably no larger than A3). Please post to:

Project Officer, Address Management
Dover District Council
White Cliffs Business Park
Dover
Kent CT16 3PJ

E-mail: addressmanagement@dover.gov.uk

Once consultation has taken place and approval given, addresses will be allocated and registered and written confirmation sent to you.

In the case of an existing property, details of the proposed change should be sent either in writing or by e-mail to the Project Officer, Address Management. Once checks have been carried out to ensure that the requested name would not cause confusion with another property we will register it and send you written confirmation.

Street Nameplates

Developers are responsible for the initial erection of street nameplates on any new development and a specification can be obtained by contacting the Project Officer, Address Management.

Dover District Council is responsible for ongoing maintenance and any subsequent replacement.

To report a missing or damaged street nameplate please contact the Project Officer, Address Management.
