What about the Valuation Office Agency council tax data?
http://cti.voa.gov.uk/cti/inits.asp
I found this recently, and it allows you to lookup from a postcode to
the individual addresses (presumably in their standard recognised
form). I've not used the data, although I'd love to because it is so
good.
Is it open data? Well, it has "Crown Copyright" at the bottom, so
maybe? I'd love to know if this dataset has been considered before, as
it can turn a postcode into something wereally need.
If I've understood the rules, the data could be used in reverse ie. to
use as clues to try and confirm when surveying, so long as only the
things you see on the ground are added?
