Once you have received planning permission you should apply for a postal address in the early stages of any new build or conversion. You should definitely apply before any new build or conversion is substantially complete.
If your request involves the naming of new streets, there may be a delay processing your application due to the consultation process with local ward Councillors and parish councils.
