11.10.1 Conventions
Start PAO with set text of “Land…”.
“Land south west of 17”
Exceptions are land use or name if obtained from a trusted source.
“Playing field opposite Village Hall”
“Allotments west of 22 High Road”
“Sports ground south east of Burton School, Barkers Wood”
If local or unofficial name exists, use this as an Alternative LPI.
“Bluebell Wood”
“Sausage Island”
Ensure accurate location in PAO by use of compass direction or by reference to existing LPIs.
“Land north west of Rose Cottage”
“Land between 66 and 68 Lloyd Road”
If capturing Records without any other form of identification, use centre grid reference to form LPI.
“Field at grid reference 456789 345678”
Reference by any other identifiable features if necessary.
“Field west of Lewes Hill”
11.10.2
The Approved Preferred LPI should be associated with the Street from which access to the land is gained. If multiple accesses exist, create Alternative LPIs for all other Streets, ensuring the Street providing primary access retains the Approved Preferred LPI.
11.10.3
Always put the whole of the descriptive text in the Addressable Object; do not place any property numbers used as part of the description within the PAO start or end number Fields, for example allotments west of 22 High Road must be described as “Allotments west of 22” in the PAO_TEXT Field.
11.10.4 Best Practice
Wherever possible, when describing a land parcel avoid use of terms such as:
- Adjacent.
- Next to.
- Unused.
- Derelict.
- Vacant.
