Decision details

To introduce a Partnership Street Naming and Numbering Policy.

RESOLVED:

1.     That the report, policy and feedback from Corporate and Community Overview and Scrutiny Committee, attached at Appendix 2, be noted;

2.     That the South and East Lincolnshire Councils Street Naming and Numbering Policy for adoption by Boston Borough Council be approved; and

3.     That authority be delegated to the Group Manager Building Control and the Assistant Director Regulatory to make such amendments to this policy as may from time to time be required in order to (i) reference any links or amended links to other documents as may be required; and (ii) reflect any issues over which the Council has no discretion including, but not limited to, references to any legislative changes and amended guidance. Any material amendments to the policy will be subject to the usual approval process in line with the Constitution.

To align and harmonise current best practice and procedures across the three Councils.

·       Do nothing – this wouldn’t harmonise SNN across the partnership.

·       Producing a standalone policy for Boston Borough Council wouldn’t align and harmonise processes and would limit the opportunity to share resources.
