Street Naming and Numbering


Service Description: The Isle of Wight Council is the statutory authority for the naming and numbering of streets and buildings on the Isle of Wight. Naming and numbering of streets and buildings is important for identifying property and ensuring properties & street names & number are logically allocated.

All Streets are recorded in the National Street Gazetteer (NSG) and all addresses are recorded in the NLPG (National Land and Property Gazetteer) to BS7666 standard format. Please see the additional weblinks below for information on the NSG & NLPG. If you wish to do the following, please use the form(s) provided: • Apply for street naming and numbering • Change name or number of a property • Apply for New property address • Query an address
