That is a good point and if the councils agree to publish under OGL, 
that would be ideal. Perhaps need to consider what data should be 
requested as a standard submission? For example, apart from the UPRN 
related data (i.e. whether parent/child, historic, provisional) the 
request could perhaps justifiably ask for a list of council land and 
property with addresses?
