Notes – processing an official address
Note 1 - For best practice guidance for SNN processes, see Section 4 and Section 5.
Note 2 - It is important that there is good liaison between the SNN Officer and the Authority Address Custodian, especially if new developments require numbering into existing numbering schemes (infill) or if a new street is required. This is to ensure the duplication of numbers or Street Names does not occur.
Note 3 - Authority Address Custodian to manage addition of postcode if not supplied at the same time as the new official address information.
Note 4 - For best practice guidance for Street processes, see Section 5.
Note 5 - For new properties, it is useful to add plot numbers as well as the Official Address at this stage if the information is available. This helps with searching in other systems, for example Land Charges.
- BLPU:
- BLPU LOGICAL_STATUS = 6 – Provisional BLPU.
- BLPU STATE = 1 – Under construction/named or numbered by SNN
- RPC can be either;
- RPC = 1 – Visual Centre
- RPC = 2 – General Internal Point
- LPI:
- LPI LOGICAL_STATUS = 6 (Provisional LPI).
- POSTAL_ADDRESS = “N” (Non Postal Address).
- OFFICIAL_ADDRESS = “Y” (Official Address) – this is only for S1, S3, S4 and S5 (not S2 Demolitions).
- If relevant input the floor level in the level Field.
Note 6 - Make original LPI Historic and new LPI Approved/Preferred. For guidance for recording demolished properties, see Section 11.7. For guidance for recording splits and mergers, see Section 11.8.
Note 7 - SNN Cross References must be unique per SNN case not per property.
Note 8 - There are various triggers that could be applied to the BLPU and the LPI to change the Logical Status from Provisional to Approved/Official. For example, this could be the council tax reference, information from Electoral Registration, Customer Relationship Managagement or building completion notice systems. Each Authority Address Custodian should determine a source or sources of information to complete this task.
