from which access might be gained. Sometimes more than one streetmight provide access.One can either add multiple LPI records or describe the LPI in terms ofthe primary access point. For sites not accessible to a street it isadvisable that your LPI description includes some form of reference tothis. For example "LAND BEHIND 'ANOTHER BLPU'".For rural sites use the last street listed in the Streets file which istraversed in travelling to the BLPU; in some cases this will result in anLPI which contains attributes from a street in a different “Town” from theBLPU itself.Part 2 para.7.3.32.5 Interpretative Issues2.5.1 Streets crossing administrative boundaries within a singleCouncil’s area.It is necessary that a separate record be maintained for the part of astreet falling within each discrete “town”. For example, if villages orparishes are populated into the town field, a street connecting two suchentities may have a single name for the whole of its length, but it willneed two records in the Street Gazetteer. This ensures that BLPUsassigned to each part of such a street will have the correct addressattributes.2.5.2 Village name / street name identical.In rural areas it is often the case that a village main street will bear thename of the village. This is acceptable. The problem it causes is inthe use of linked business applications, where an address label willeffectively bear the village name twice. In these cases it is suggestedthat the business application software be used to suppress the use ofthe street name. (This workaround device may also be employedwhere Type 2 street descriptions may be undesirable within linkedbusiness applications, on address labels for example.)2.5.3 Street & BLPU in different administrative areasThis is a common problem found in compiling the national data-set.Liaison with neighbouring districts is required to obtain the necessaryUSRN. This will be made easier when all local authorities join theNLPG process as this will enable them to cross reference with a copyof the NLPG. Failing this, Intelligent Addressing can provideinformation on the correct USRN to use in cases of doubt.Version : 4Date: 18/02/05 Page 8
