Shropshire Council is not responsible for issuing new postcodes - this is the responsibility of Royal Mail. Royal Mail, however, will not issue a postcode for a new street or property until requested to do so by the council.
Postcodes for commercial premises are allocated in the same way as residential premises, but a large company or business can apply to Royal Mail for its own code - known as a large user code. Application for a large user code is the responsibility of the user, as they will know what volume of mail they generate.
Enquiries about postcodes can be dealt with by contacting:
Royal Mail Address Development Team, Admiral House, 2 Admiral Way, Doxford International Business Park, Sunderland, SR3 3XW
email: addressdevelopment@royalmail.com.
Searches for postcodes can also be carried out on the Royal Mail Website via the link on this page.
