How to apply

To make an application, you will need to:

  1. fill in the street naming and numbering contact form
  2. submit your supporting documents by email to naming&numbering@ealing.gov.uk making sure to include your application reference and site address

Before you start

You will need to include the following:

  • contact - developer, owner, freeholder or applicant contact name (we always require the freeholder’s permission)
  • address of the freeholder
  • contact email address
  • contact telephone number
  • type of application - new street or road name and numbering or development
  • type of development - is it a new build or a conversion of an existing property
  • location of development - descriptive name needed
  • location or layout plan – highlight the front door location in relation to the existing street
  • planning reference number - this is the number that approved the development and decision notice
  • suggested name - if the developer or applicant has a suggestion for the name(s) of the streets, these should be included (ideally a choice of three)
  • building timeframe - for instance: not yet built or under construction and when complete

In the case of flats, it is helpful to make us aware if there is a single letterbox for the block, a bank of postboxes in the lobby, or if each flat has its own letterbox, which helps our colleagues at Royal Mail.

What happens next

When we receive your application we will calculate the fee and send you a link to our online payment system by email.
