It doesn't denote an address. While a lot of premises that have a UPRN 
also have an address, there are also many that don't. Every individual 
field in an agricultural area has a UPRN, for example, as do things like 
telephone boxes and street lamps. In fact, one of the main reasons 
behind the adoption of UPRNs as the unique identifier for properties is 
that addresses alone can't fulfil that purpose.
