Guidance for developers
Apply to register addresses for your development as soon as planning permission is granted. A site plan showing the location of all the plots/units must be attached with your application, as well as your payment.
For developments on an existing street, we will advise on how the new development will be numbered within the existing road numbering scheme.
For developments which need new road names, developers should submit suggestions for naming using the guidelines we supply. We will then consult local ward and parish councillors for their opinion on these suggested names which normally takes about three weeks.
We will then apply to Royal Mail for provision of new postcodes which normally takes a further 3 weeks.
As soon as postcodes are received back from Royal Mail, and the developers have supplied an annotated plan, we will create a schedule of plot numbers, postal addresses and postcodes. This schedule will be sent to the developer for checking.
Once the developer replies with written confirmation of the addresses, we will issue a notice including the address schedule and site plan.
Copies of this notice will be sent internally to other Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council departments and externally to various statutory bodies, including emergencies services and Land Registry.
