(as I may have said before) I think it's explained by the KFC and Little
Castle (pub) being built after Enterprise Way was built, whereas the
other businesses started to be built before it was complete.
Interestingly, Google have updated their POIs since May (maybe a Google
contributor reads this list...).
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.2433483,-1.3312846,16.5z looks now
mostly correct if you compare it to
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/53.24411/-1.33530 . Back in May,
most of the POIs were clustered around what is now labelled as "Markham
Vale Environment Centre", which interestingly if you believe
http://www.chesterfield.co.uk/business/conferences/markham-vale-environment-centre/
has a different postcode altogether of S44 5HY.
Best Regards,
