5.3.8.1
If a Street has an official Street Name allocated by the SNN Authority, then it is a type 1 Street. The official designated Street Name, approved by the SNN Authority, must be recorded in full.
5.3.8.2
The following rules apply to type 1 Street Records added to the LLPG:
- Punctuation must only be included within the Street Name if the punctuation is part of the official approved SNN Authority Street Name as a type 1 Street, for example “Forget-Me-Not Way”.
- Full stops must only be used as part of the official approved SNN Authority Street Name if the full stop is part of the Official Address. They should not be entered to make text grammatically correct. For example, “St. Stephens Road” should only be recorded as “St.” if the full stop is part of the Official Address.
- Abbreviations must only be used where they form part of the official approved SNN Authority Street Name as a type 1 Street. The only exception is “St” for “Saint”.
- Ampersands must be replaced with the word “and”.
- New official approved SNN Authority Street Names should not end in “s” if this can be construed as either a possessive or plural Street Name.
- Where a new Street has an official approved SNN Authority Street Name and the construction work has yet to commence Street BLPU LOGICAL_STATUS = 6 – Provisional, must be used and STATE = 5 – Street for addressing purposes only, must also be used. See Street BLPUs, Section 6.3.20.
5.3.8.3
Figure 4 shows a legacy Record of a courtyard which meets the following criteria:
- It is passable to vehicular traffic.
- It is metalled.
- It is enclosed.
5.3.8.4
These Streets, which may be courts, parades, plazas or precincts should be entered as type 1 or type 2 Streets in the ASG. If a Street like this is not a Highway the Authority Street Custodian must liaise with the Authority Address Custodian and the SNN Officer to reach agreement as to whether it should be recorded as a Street or not.
5.3.8.5

5.3.8.6
If a property has a private path within its curtilage to connect different parts of the property, that path is not a Street, for example, a path between blocks within a school site.
5.3.8.7
If a property has a courtyard or quadrangle which is accessed only through the building, that courtyard or quadrangle is not a Street, for example, a quadrangle within a University Hall of Residence.
5.3.8.8
If a named terrace appears to run alongside a carriageway, but in reality is separated from the main carriageway, for example by being on a different level and if there is no access from one to the other, then that terrace should be recorded as a type 1 Street.
5.3.8.9
Where there is a legacy case of a terrace officially named as a type 1 Street existing alongside another officially named Street, then a type 1 Street may be created for the terrace. For an example see Section 11.9.2.9. The type 1 Street for the terrace must also have the following attributes:
- Street STATE = 5 – Street for addressing purposes only.
- Street maintenance responsibility STREET_STATUS = 5 (type 61 Interest Record) – Street outside the scope of EToN.
5.3.8.10
If an Authority Address Custodian needs to create a Street with a Street STATE = 5, and if Street STATE = 5 is not available in the Authority Address Custodian’s maintenance system, then the Authority Address Custodian must create the Street using STATE = 1 – Under construction and inform the Authority Street Custodian that this Street was created for addressing purposes only. The Authority Street Custodian must then allocate the Street STATE = 5 in the LSG.
5.3.8.11
If a terrace is created as a type 1 Street, the Street alongside which it exists must not be designated as a type 2 Street. This is because if a Street is officially named, the official name applies to the whole width of the Street unless the other side has a different official Street Name.
5.3.8.12
If, in legacy Records a Street Name of a type 1 Street overlaps a Street Name on the opposite side of the Street, the extremity points of the Streets are not coincident. A section of that Street is associated with both Streets.
5.3.8.13
If two Streets overlap by 10m or less, then the extremity points of the overlapping Streets remain coincident and the Streets are not recorded as overlapping.
5.3.8.14
The ESUs must be broken at both extremity points in order that each Street may consist of whole ESUs, with one or more ESU being common to each Street.
5.3.8.15
The Authority Street Custodian must allocate one of the overlapping Streets as the Street to be identified for EToN Notices and the Street to be included in the list maintained under S36 of the Highways Act 1980. This is shown in the type 61 Interest Record.
5.3.8.16
The Street allocated by the Authority Street Custodian must have in the type 61 Interest Record a Street maintenance responsibility code STREET_STATUS = 5 – Street outside the scope of EToN, for the Whole Street.
5.3.8.17
The Street not allocated by the Authority Street Custodian must have a two part Street maintenance responsibility code using the following:
- Street maintenance responsibility STREET_STATUS = 5. This is for the section of Street which overlaps.
- Street maintenance responsibility STREET_STATUS = 1, 2, 3 or 4 (as appropriate). These are for the remainder of the Street.
5.3.8.18
For more information on Street maintenance responsibility codes, see Section 15.3 of the DEC-NSG.
