The Head of Planning Services had submitted a report to seek approval for a revised Street Naming and Numbering Policy.

Councillor Louise Upton, Cabinet Member for Planning and Healthier Communities, explained that the purpose of the policy was to ensure that each property had a unique and unambiguous address.  The policy set out how street naming and numbering would be done and how it would be consulted on.  It had also been updated to ensure compliance with the latest best practice national guidelines.

Councillor Upton also highlighted that responsibility for maintaining the policy had now moved to Planning Services (from Law and Governance).

Cabinet resolved to:

1.      Approve the draft Street Naming and Numbering Policy (at Appendix 1); and

2.      Delegate authority to the Head of Planning Services to make any amendments to the draft Policy as a result of Cabinet’s consideration of it.
