Hi,
I don't think we would delete a postcode found in other Open Data just
on the basis of it not being in Codepoint Open; the error could lie in
Codepoint Open itself. I suggest that a FIXME would be appropriate where
two sources appear to contradict each other.
There are two open data sources of postcodes: Codepoint Open and the ONS
Postcode Database. Ultimately, both of those are populated from Royal
Mail data, since it's RM that assigns postcodes. So if CPO and ONSPD
agree that a postcode is deleted (and I'm not aware of any instance in
which they've disagreed), that's canonical.
I think a FIXME is probably a good solution here; hopefully there will
be somebody on the ground who can verify the correct postcode simply by
comparison with known postcodes for neighbouring properties (since a
filling station isn't going to be large enough to have a single-user
postcode).
