Date of Decision: October 10, 2024

Purpose: This is a new policy that combines and updates the policies/guidance of the previous four sovereign authorities

Content: RESOLVED   KEY DECISION   That the Executive adopted the Street Naming and Numbering Policy as set out at Appendix A to the report, subject to the addition of the following clause at paragraph 6.22 of the policy document:-   “Notwithstanding paragraphs 6.10 and 6.11, where it is thought exceptional circumstances may exist from time to time, the request to deviate from this policy must be submitted to and approved by the Leader, Executive Lead Member for Growth and Regeneration and Executive Director for Place and Economy”     Reason for Recommendations – To accord with legislation and ensure the Council is operating a consistent approach to allocating street naming and numbering across the whole of the North Northamptonshire area.   Alternative Options Considered – To continue to maintain an inconsistent approach to street naming and numbering, resulting in disparities across the area in terms of the quality and costs of the service provided dependent upon location of development, and the approach adopted previously. This inconsistency has a negative impact on the service as a whole, plus the introduction of a consistent service gives a stronger justification to charge for the service to cover service costs.
