4.2 Additional Information4.2.1 Business Names.As mentioned below in section 5.5 the LLPG is not primarily designedfor storing business names, although some Authorities have sought togain the business benefit of holding such data within the LLPG, where itcan be centrally maintained. Business names are permissible where aproperty is locally known by its occupant’s name and where it has nopremises number, e.g. “HARRODS”. Otherwise it is recommendedthat business names be held in a linked database.4.2.2 House names and numbers (when both exist)The name and number will both be entered in the PAON, the number inspaces 1 – 10 and the name commencing in space 11. Where thenumber is a simple numeric it will be right justified in spaces 1-4; wherethe number has an alphabetic suffix this will be entered in space 5.Where the number is a range, e.g. 12-14, the start number will beentered in spaces 1-4, and the end number in spaces 6-9. Space 10would be used for an end number suffix.4.2.3 Adjacency conventions.The fewer the better. Duplications within the same street, e.g. “LANDADJACENT TO” must only be used once for a given street.4.2.4 Postal Addresses.There has been confusion in many areas over the subject of postaladdresses. The Standard requires addresses to be geographicallybased; thus in many cases, especially in rural areas, LPIs will not bepostally correct. Included at Appendix E is a recommended routine forthe production of postally correct addresses from the LPI.4.3 Typography4.3.1 AbbreviationsThese shall not be used except where they form part of the officialname.
