Comment (by lonvia):

 Addresses don't take into account importance, it is only computed based on
 distance and the kind of geometry. Boundary relations always win over
 place nodes because they are more precise.

 You should be able to solve this particular one by adding a town boundary
 relation for Lowestoft.
