Airports

A BLPU shall be created for the whole airport (same principle as universities, hospitals etc.).

If the airport covers an extensive site and is made up of a number of linked terminals each terminal should be captured as a Child of the whole site BLPU.

Under BS 7666-2:2006 the Parent UPRN Record can be used to indicate the hierarchical relationship between the complex arrangements identified above. In these cases the same PAO does not need to be referred to in the Child Record. Examples of an address structure are provided in the column to the right.

For further examples of hierarchical relationships, see Section 11.9.

For guidance on how to deal with a site which is accessed by Streets in different Authorities, see Section 11.6.5.

Emergency Services have a requirement for identifying specific buildings and parts of buildings on hospital sites to enable them to deal with very specific risks. If the information is available to the SNN Authority the means of access to these sub locations should be referenced in the LPI AO and Street providing the most appropriate access.

The same principles should be adopted for power stations and other industrial sites (mining, chemical plants etc.).

PAO: “Lister Hospital”

Motorway Service Stations

If a service station is accessed directly from a Motorway, separate USRNs must be created for the slip roads leading to and from the service station, see Section 5.3.10. These are known as the on and off slip roads.

The off slip road is that which leaves the Motorway and enters the service station.

The service station BLPU should be associated with the off slip road.

If a service station is not accessed directly from a Motorway, for example, if it accessed from a Motorway roundabout at a junction which is not subject to Motorway regulations, then Motorway conventions do not apply to the slip road leading to the service station. For example, Tamworth Services at junction 10 the M42.

PAO: “Mayday Service Area North”

Alternative LPIs should be captured if access can be gained to the site from more than one Street.

For faith schools abbreviations shall not be used to indicate the denomination, for example, Roman Catholic, Church of England shall be used rather than RC or C of E. Full stops shall not be used.

Any associated residential accommodation such as caretaker’s house or school house should be created as a Child BLPU of the Parent BLPU for the school site.
