Notes

13.2.1

Royal Mail no longer requires the postal county to be entered into an address to deliver mail and this no longer forms part of the Postcode Address File (PAF).  It is recommended that all SNN Authorities adopt this protocol in the address information they use within their area.  If traditional county names are required, and they are not identical to the administrative area of the LLPG, they should be held outside the LLPG database or as a linked dataset.  

  • If TOWN_NAME and POST_TOWN contain identical values only one shall be used in the generation of a Postal Address.
  • If LOCALITY_NAME, POST_TOWN or TOWN_NAME are null, these lines in the generated address should be removed.
  • If the Organisation Name Field is populated and there is an identical entry in the PAO field, then one of those Fields must be suppressed when generating a Postal Address.
