I wasn't aware of the addr:flatnumber tag so thanks for that. In regards to
The Hollies, I didn't survey that one myself but gather it is a collection
of new houses on Birmingham Road (with a short stubby service road):

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.63901&mlon=-1.83537#map=19/52.63901/-1.83537&layers=N

Examples I've seen include modern gated "courtyard" community:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.21581&mlon=-1.87158#map=19/52.21581/-1.87158&layers=N

and a slightly older set of houses that must have been built after the
other houses on the street were removed:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.21740&mlon=-1.86922#map=19/52.21740/-1.86922&layers=N

So far I have been tagging these as addr:housenumber=6, The Hollies. Other
ideas welcome.
