Rother District Council

The naming of streets and numbering of properties in the Rother District is a statutory function of the Council. All new developments or re-developments need to be named and numbered.

The primary purpose is to create addresses, with consistency which can be located quickly in all situations, but particularly in an emergency. Any development or proposed name change which would require an address to be created or amended must be applied for and confirmed through the Street Naming and Numbering process.

We will try to accommodate your wishes, but all proposed addressing must conform to the Council's Policy. Please see our Policy located on the right of this page for more information.

A property name will not be formally changed where the property is in the process of being purchased. Only when contracts are exchanged can a name change request be accepted.
