Google doesn't use Royal Mail PAF data to provide addresses: a postcode
is located on its centroid.
What I've done to improve the user experience is to show Google's
identified location on a map with a draggable marker which the user can
move to a better place.
But there's no way that Google will provide a list of addresses having
any particular postcode. Even reverse geocoding is only done by
interpolation: if Google can return an address for a location, it's only
a guess (and certainly not based on postcode).
