NO, if there isn't a street with this name you must not use addr:street. That's the kind of situation for which addr:place was introduced. > However larger estates with multiple roads will have the name of the > estate separate. Using "addr:place" if it is displayed before > "addr:street", but other uses of "addr:place" need it AFTER street. you are confusing the data and the format in which this data is locally expected to be displayed. You should not enter the data in a way that is wrong just to have the formatted address in one tool in an order that is common for your area. > Construction of an address from addr: elements should be consistent but > *IS* something that will have a different template for each country, and > adding more addr: fields just complicates that template?

Is something speaking against adding a place=neighbourhood to the settlement part with the name "Weston Industrial Estate"? i.e. this one: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/83270098 The current way of mapping is like drawing a landuse=residential around a village. It is done, but it is medium scale mapping. If you detail this further, it will break. For reference: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr:place Cheers, Martin
