Important Update
Due to unforeseen circumstances, there is an ongoing delay with Royal Mail allocating Postcodes. This means that applications are taking longer to process. We understand they are working through a backlog of 7 weeks (35 working days) at present. We apologise for any inconvenience that this causes and advise that you should submit your application for street naming and numbering at your earliest convenience.
We request that you do not contact Royal Mail directly, as this adds to their enquiries and extends the waiting period. If you have any queries please contact us at snn@dbcp.co.uk and we will check our records before any additional enquiries are raised by ourselves with Royal Mail. We thank you in advance for your patience in this matter.
We are responsible for the naming and numbering of new or existing streets and buildings within Chesterfield, Bolsover and North East Derbyshire.
The correct addressing of a property is important. Postal and emergency services, as well as many organisations and the general public, need an efficient means of locating and referencing properties.
Street names can be a way of acknowledging the past and paying tribute to those who have given distinguished service to the community or have contributed to the local heritage.
If you are developing land and buildings in the areas above and need new addresses please let us know as soon as possible. We can record addresses and send them to organisations who deal with addresses such as Ordnance Survey, the Royal Mail and the Land Registry.
