What do mean by "safe"? Inaccurate? Unlawful?
There's nothing really wrong with the closed polygon that can't be fixed
by removing the building tag. The mapper's clearly used the Bing aerial
background imagery to trace the area & used Asda's website for other
data. Seeing the car park originates from '09, I'm going to guess the
supermarket polygon was expanded from a POI. I can't think of any data
being more accurate than the operator's web page. I'm not sure why you
so concerned about this instance. Nothing in OSM is completely accurate.
If you know ways to improve the data, do so.
