The 'shell' of the building is not normally addressable so it would not
have a postcode allocated. I guess this has occured as postcode areas
normally would cover up to 100 properties. I note that the response in
the discussion seems to have come from a councillor at Peterborough City
Council so I assume he has checked with the GIS team.
Not elegant but perhaps use somethinig like addr2:postcode= (this has
been used rarely e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/128457240)

Hi Colin, Hi BD,
as I live in a country with the maximum "anomality" are different
5-digit postcodes along a street (or sides of said street) I find
different codes per building strange to say to least.
I'd go for:
* Remove addr:postcode= from the building's area and add a note=This
building has two postcodes, X and Y
* Add two new nodes within the area of the building (not connecting
to the area), add all addr:*= with the respective postcodes and add a
note=This building (link to way/area of building) has two postcodes,
this node is for levels A thru B.
* Change the Note in the area to display the links to the Postcode Nodes.
I would recommend leaving this to UK mappers who understand the UK
postcode system.... Postcodes don't indicate buildings in the UK -
they indicate postal delivery points. Don't try and find logic where
none exists...
The relationship is n:m. You cannot ask "what is the postcode for this
building" - you have to ask "what postcodes have a delivery point in
this building". You cannot ask "which building does this postcode
indicate", you have to ask "which buildings have a delivery point with
this postcode."
