There's a discussion about "substreets" and "dependent thoroughfares" starting here:

Don't forget there is reasonably broad agreement that OSM uses *postal addresses* in cases where they conflict with addresses to locate or identify a premises. When addressing a letter to Abbots Walk, Royal Mail say you can omit the main street name if you are pushed for space.

<br>That seems reasonable, although addr:place seems a little controversial

Well indeed. I figured I didn't need to say that other opinions were available!

<br>
<br>Yes, that seems like a sensible suggestion. it would be particularly
<br>useful where an urban building has both commercial and residential use.
