Why do you add the street name if the street is already mapped in OSM? The street (name) can be found usual spatial queries (in PostGIS ST_Buffer, ST_Intersect etc.). Even Overpass API offers a few spatial queries. Who will care to update the street names of the trees if the name of the street is changed? I don't think that an average mapper who updates a street name will mind to change all the trees along that street. He might just update addr:street=* of all buildings. > - 'usrn' appears to be an identifier (Unique Street Reference Number > <https://data.gov.uk/dataset/national-address-gazetteer>).

It was originally introduced by the Naptan import but it is now also used in other European countries. If a foreign key is really really necessary and unavoidable, use a prefixed key like birmingham_tree_import:foobar_ref=* instead (see Import Guideline).
