That is a good point and if the councils agree to publish under OGL,
that would be ideal. Perhaps need to consider what data should be
requested as a standard submission? For example, apart from the UPRN
related data (i.e. whether parent/child, historic, provisional) the
request could perhaps justifiably ask for a list of council land and
property with addresses?

But since the vast majority of the UPRN data is actually collected and
managed by the relevant councils, the question is do they have the
right to restrict access when it is council taxes that pay for the
management of that data and not OS! SHOULD we perhaps be asking the
various councils for direct access to the raw data under the open data
umbrella?
