We are not responsible for issuing new postcodes; new postcodes are issued by Royal Mail. However, they will not issue a postcode for a new street unless requested to do so by us.
Royal Mail
Queries about postcodes can be dealt with by contacting the Royal Mail Customer Services line or by using the Royal Mail Postcode Finder Tool.
Commercial premises
Postcodes for commercial premises are allocated in the same way as for residential premises, but a large company can apply to the Royal Mail for its own code (known as a 'large user code'). Applications for large user codes are the responsibility of the company concerned as they will know what volume of mail they generate.
