OK, here you go. Here are Excel and proper comma separated csv versions.

I haven't made any attempt to normalise the addresses. Doing so reliably
would require referencing AddressBase or the PAF, and therefore render
the data non-open. And doing it unreliably is probably worse than not
doing it at all.
It is not, though, particularly difficult to import the original version
into a spreadsheet or database, and I would recommend that anyone who
wants to use this data regularly does take a bit of time to learn how.
