Street Name and Numbering (SNN) New Developments
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. This applies to both Commercial and Residential Developments. The application (including fee and plans) is the responsibility of the developer. The process can take several weeks to complete please ensure that applications are submitted in time to be completed at least two months before a property becomes occupied. Postcode Allocation The purpose of a postcode is to assist Royal Mail in their own working processes. Rother District Council have a good working relationship with Royal Mail but are not responsible for the postcode allocations, this is the responsibility of Royal Mail. Royal Mail do not issue a postcode for a new street unless requested to do so by the Council. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact your local Royal Mail office.
