The Street Naming and Numbering (SNN) Officer is the first point of contact in a local authority for:
- the allocation of house numbers or names and street names to new developments and property conversions
- the re-naming and re-numbering of properties and streets where they deem necessary.
SNN Officers carry out a whole range of duties – all designed to adhere to street naming and numbering legislation. These duties are essential for the efficient functioning of postal and emergency services as well as for the convenience and safety of the general public.
In order to support this vital function within local authorities,
GeoPlace have developed a series of key resources. In addition, our Knowledge Hub Group brings together an active community of fellow SNN officers who support and share best practice with one another
