Does that make sense? If so, does anyone have any suggestions?
Nominatim, the native OpenStreetMap geocoder can do something like this.
It uses the OSM data to produce a hierarchy of places. For instance:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=16257
is Evesham, and
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=1030169
is South Littleton.
So:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=WR11+3DL&format=xml&addressdetails=1
will give you a fully qualified address for any feature with that
postcode in OSM. For a more general search, just use the outbound portion:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=WR11&format=xml&addressdetails=1
