Open UK Address Data

An interesting development for anyone interested in Open UK address data, courtesy of Owen Baswarva:

https://datamillnorth.org/dataset/em7lg/council-tax-bands-of-all-properties-in-leeds.

It seems that Leeds City Council have published a complete list of properties in their area with full addresses, council tax banks and UPRNs under the OGL. There’s no coordinates, but these can be looked up from OS Open UPRN.

Could we make use of this data in bulk in OSM? Could other councils be persuaded to release the same information, or could the VOA be persuaded to release the data for the whole country?

Maybe it was too good to be true. The Council has now removed the UPRNs and postcodes from the dataset. See this update from Owen.
