The allocation of a house name is permitted but where a numbering scheme is in place it would be additional to that number and not a replacement. In such cases there is no requirement to inform the Council. This is not the case in some parts of the borough where a numbering scheme is not in place. Here any new names need to be checked out by the Council to help avoid duplication or similarity.
