I believe this matter refers to change of name not correction of name and therefore, initially there should not be any specific application form for it rather:
There is nothing in the law of the United Kingdom to prevent people from
changing their name simply by using another one and gradually
becoming known by it. A person who wishes to evidence the change
may do so by advertising it in the local press, by making a statutory
declaration, or by executing a deed poll.
