I would recommend leaving this to UK mappers who understand the UK postcode system Postcodes don't indicate buildings in the UK - they indicate postal delivery points. Don't try and find logic where none exists... The relationship is n:m. You cannot ask "what is the postcode for this building" - you have to ask "what postcodes have a delivery point in this building". You cannot ask "which building does this postcode indicate", you have to ask "which buildings have a delivery point with this postcode."___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] different post codes within single block of flats
Hi Colin, Hi BD, as I live in a country with the maximum "anomality" are different 5-digit postcodes along a street (or sides of said street) I find different codes per building strange to say to least. I'd go for: * Remove addr:postcode= from the building's area and add a note=This building has two postcodes, X and Y * Add two new nodes within the area of the building (not connecting to the area), add all addr:*= with the respective postcodes and add a note=This building (link to way/area of building) has two postcodes, this node is for levels A thru B. * Change the Note in the area to display the links to the Postcode Nodes. That way the postcodes are searchable and lead to sensible and understand results.

UK postcodes are for the delivery of mail and not intended to identify buildings or parts of buildings. There will be loads of "anomalies" like this. It's not crazy, it's just not what you are used to.

Hi all, came across this quite strange arrangement: www.openstreetmap.org www.openstreetmap.org As per comment in this changeset it seems that two postcodes are dividing this building in half but not as I would expect.
