Street description (type 2, 3, 4 and 9 streets)
5.3.9.1
The Street Description, either approved by the SNN Authority or the Authority Address Custodian, must be recorded in full.
5.3.9.2
If a Street meets any of the following criteria, then it is a type 2 Street:
- Is the Street an entity in its own right?
- Is the Street a Highway Maintainable at Public Expense?
- Does the Street have real world Addressable Objects (addresses) recorded against it?
- Does the Street not have an official designated Street Name?
5.3.9.3
The following rules must be applied to type 2, 3, 4 and 9 Streets when added to the LLPG:
- Punctuation must only be included in the Street Description, locality or town Records if that description includes an Official Street Name which contains punctuation, for example “Road from Forget-Me-Not Way to Fred’s Farm” must be recorded as “Road from Forget-Me-Not Way to Freds Farm”.
- Ampersands must be replaced with the word “and”.
- Full stops must not be used as part of any Street Description.
- Abbreviations must not be used.
The exception to this rule is if the punctuation or abbreviation forms part of an official type 1 Street Name or a Primary Addressable Object Name which is included in the type 2 or 4 Street Description.
