estate name/house numbering scheme and associated signage shall be submitted

Place-name Committee’s Policies
It is the policy of the Place-Names committee that place-names
should:
- Be easily pronounced
- Be in Gaelic, if appropriate
- Reflect the local topography, history, environment, culture, ecology
or mythology of the immediate area.
The procedure is as follows:
- A developer may submit names for a proposed development
- The development control, planning section will forward any requests
or place-name proposals to the committee
- The committee may decide to accept or reject the name proposed
- In the case where the name has been rejected or where place-names
are to be proposed, two to four alternatives or names will be suggested
- These proposed names will be forwarded to the developer to make the
choice. The developer may choose to re-negotiate or have further discussions
on the matter
- The developer will then submit the final place-name choice to the
development control, planning section
- Planning will accept or reject the proposed place-name.
