11.6.3.1
A Street should not have more than one building of the same name on it. If exceptions to this exist because of historical naming and numbering, the buildings should be clearly distinguished by separate numbers. See Figure 7.
Figure 5 - One block with two access points
- In Figure 5, one block has two access points but no internal access between the blocks. The two access points on Main Road are addressed as:
- “Cedar House 5 Main Road”
- “Cedar House 7 Main Road”
11.6.3.2
If there is more than one access Street or the property is on a Street corner, assign the BLPU to the most commonly used access route to the property, for example, the shortest route, the access to the main entrance of the property or car parking etc.
11.6.3.3
For a new Record requested by a user, possibly, that user can provide this information. For an existing Record, check to see which Application Cross References are linked to the BLPU to ascertain which external application or user can provide help.
11.6.3.4
When the most appropriate Street is identified this Street must be associated with the Approved Preferred LPI Record for the BLPU. All other Streets giving access to this BLPU should be recorded using Alternative LPIs (LOGICAL_STATUS = 3 - Alternative). In this scenario the Approved Preferred LPI has a different USRN from each of the Alternative LPIs. See Figure 6.
Figure 6 - Blocks with multiple accesses
- In Figure 6, each block is addressed to High Road because that provides the primary access to the development. Alternative LPIs should be created using “East Street”.
11.6.3.5
If all of the following conditions are true a Parent BLPU must be created for each block:
- A building has a primary access on more than one Street.
- Each block has the same building name.
- Each block is numbered to the street.
- There is no internal access between the blocks.
11.6.3.6
As described in Section 11.6.3.1 it is acceptable in this scenario for a building name to appear twice on the same Street, provided the blocks are differentiated by building numbers. See Figure 7.
Figure 7 - Building name appearing twice on the same Street
- In Figure 7, 3 Parent BLPUs must be created:
- “City View 250 King Street”
- “City View 1 Dock Street”
- “City View 2 Dock Street”
11.6.3.7
If a group of properties relate to a common Parent BLPU but are accessed from different Streets (for example a hospital or university) the following Records must be created. See Figure 8:
- A Parent BLPU associated with the Street providing the primary access for the site.
- Each Child BLPU, associated with the Street which provides access to the BLPU. This can be different from the Street associated with the Parent BLPU or other Child BLPUs.
Figure 8 - Grouped properties accessed from different Streets
- In Figure 8, it is acceptable for “Block” “A”, “B” and “C” to have Upper Street in their address, whilst the Parent BLPU of the hospital is addressed to “Old Road”.
11.6.3.8
If there is no road, track or footpath giving direct access to the BLPU and the BLPU is not within the curtilage of another BLPU, then the property can only be described by reference to another BLPU in the LLPG. Create an LPI referring to the other BLPU in the PAO, for example “land to the rear of [another BLPU]” or “workshop to the rear of [another BLPU]” and associate the BLPU with the street used in the BLPU providing the access. See Figure 9.
Figure 9 - BLPU referenced to another BLPU
- This workshop has an address of:
- “Workshop to the rear of 4 Green Road”
- This address shall be structured as follows:
SAO_TEXT
PAO_TEXT
“Workshop to the rear of 4”
STREET NAME
“Green Road”
11.6.3.9
If there is no apparent Street or appropriate BLPU, for example a remote property accessed only on foot with no defined footpath, the last Street traversed should be used. See Figure 10.
Figure 10 - BLPU with no apparent Street or referenced BLPU
- In Figure 10, “Manor Farm Cottage” is accessed via a footpath which is within the boundary of a farm site. The last Street to be traversed before reaching the footpath is “Spring Lane”, therefore the address is:
- “Manor Farm Cottage”, “Spring Lane”
11.6.3.10
If a type 1 Street is required for the BLPU Record and the following conditions apply, a request must be made for the SNN Officer to officially name the Street using the conventions and policies described in Section 4.
- The type 1 Street is not in the NSG or ASG.
- The type 1 Street is within the SNN Authority administrative area.
11.6.3.11
If a type 2, 4 or 9 Street is required, then the Authority Address Custodian should follow internal processes established to obtain a USRN and then create the Record in the LLPG.
11.6.3.12
Streets representing a village must not be created for the purposes of assigning BLPUs. Either the SNN Officer must create a type 1 Street or the Authority Address Custodian, in consultation with the SNN Officer, must create a type 2 Street for settlements where no Street currently exists in the LLPG.
