If you want to allocate a building name, eg. to an apartment block, this name must be used in conjunction with the street name.

If you are a developing a large estate involving the construction of new road(s) you can propose new road name(s). Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) will give preference to names with a local or historical connection. Streets can be named after people related to a particular area or site, as long as that person is deceased.

Street names should not duplicate any similar name already in use in the district. Street names should not be difficult to spell or pronounce or cause offence. Please liaise with your local town or parish council until an acceptable name is agreed.

Please note that developers are also responsible for providing and erecting street name plates before the new properties are occupied. The name plates should conform to HDC’s standards. HDC has responsibility for the street name plates thereafter. Please email for details of our preferred supplier.
