Street Naming

The Council allocates postal numbers to houses and buildings.

Council also administers the naming of new roads or streets in Mid and East Antrim.

The Building Control service carries out this work. 

Every effort is made to include developers in the process by inviting the applicant to submit preferred names and alternatives.

Council has guidelines for the process of naming a new road/street which requires that the name be based on, or derived from, names of adjoining roads, townland names or other local geographical or historical features.

You should contact us before creating title or promotional literature for any new property or development.

Incorrect or unauthorised postal addresses can create confusion and could cause complications for the emergency services and the occupiers.

You should contact your local office if you require a Street Naming application form or have a query regarding the postal number of your property.

If you would like any further information call us on T: 0300 124 5000 or E: building@midandeastantrim.gov.uk
