5.4.1.1
The Authority Street Custodian in each LHA must liaise with and obtain Street related change information from one or more of the following sources:
- Each District Council (where appropriate).
- Highways England.
- Welsh Assembly Government.
- Transport for London.
- Network Rail.
- Ministry of Defence.
- Royal Parks.
- Private street managers.
- Residential service agencies.
5.4.1.2
A type 2 Street Description must start with the type of road or road number, for example:
- “B1234 from”.
- “Road from”.
- “Lane from”.
- “Track from”.
- “Path from”.
- “Footpath from”.
- “Access road from”.
- “Service road from”.
The Street Description must be a useful description that is recognised in the real world. Examples of Street Descriptions are:
- “M1 junction 3 to junction 4”.
- “Road from White Cross to Beckhams End”.
- “Track from Daresbury Lane to South Farm”.
- “B1234 from Daresbury Lane to South Farm”.
- Footbridges unnamed:
- “Footbridge from opposite 391 to opposite 421 Clydach Road”.
- Footbridges named:
- “Sail Bridge”.
- Segregated bus routes (including guided busways):
- “Fabian Way Bus Route 3”.
- Unnamed road schemes (including under construction):
- “Gowerton Inner Relief Road Stage 2”.
- “Swansea Vale Access Road Phases 3 and 4”.
5.4.1.3
If a new development results in the creation of new Streets these must be captured and defined in an appropriate manner to comply with the requirements of the LSG processes. This enables new properties to be added to an LLPG.
5.4.1.4
Sometimes, Street Names are suggested by developers submitting proposals for a development. The Authority Address Custodian and SNN Officer must ensure that any such proposals do not conflict with existing Street Names within the area. The Authority Street Custodian should be involved in this consultation depending on local working arrangements.
5.4.1.5
The LSG provides a definitive dataset of Streets within the administrative area. SNN Authority policy determines whether consultation is required with parish councils, emergency services and external organisations such as Royal Mail. The SNN Authority is responsible for the designation of the Street Name.
5.4.1.6
Street, locality and town combination must be unique within the administrative area when Street Data is created. In the LSG the combination of Street, locality, town and administrative area must be unique. For further details of the street naming process, see Section 4.

The following are examples of Street Descriptions including use of punctuation:
