There are two types of development that will require the Council to issue new addresses. These are those with new streets (Major Development) and those without (Minor Development). Please click on the link at the end of this text for the development type you require.

Regardless of the type of development, all new street names and new numbering schemes must be approved by Dartford Borough Council. Developments named and/or numbered by the developer alone may be subject to change and Dartford Borough Council will not be liable for any costs or damages that arise due to failure to comply with this request.

It is essential that properties are numbered properly before they are occupied. If you have not applied for street naming and/or numbering before this time, there will be a delay in addresses being registered and postcodes being allocated which could mean that new residents experience difficulties when dealing with service providers who use postcodes to locate properties.
