UPRN data

I've uploaded UPRN (Unique Property Reference Number) data for the UK to my website. They are only currently available as a link from viewing a particular postcode (an example) but do let me know if it would be useful to provide them in some other way.

Unfortunately the freely available data doesn't include the thing that would be make this data exceedingly useful, the address. I doubt that is likely to happen since there are many companies whose business is based on selling that data

One other major problem is the open data includes old UPRNs but no indication that the UPRN is no longer active, hopefully this will be addressed in a future release.

There's more information on this data here which covers other issues with it.
