NO ... the postal element "addr:street" is 'Weston Industrial Estate' so 
building a postal address from addr: elements needs that element. The 
adjacent road does not form part of the address. However larger estates 
with multiple roads will have the name of the estate separate. Using 
"addr:place" if it is displayed before "addr:street", but other uses of 
"addr:place" need it AFTER street. Construction of an address from addr: 
elements should be consistent but *IS* something that will have a 
different template for each country, and adding more addr: fields just 
complicates that template? This is what is currently not documented?

My point here is to loose the confusing mess and just have "addr:number" 
and then ->

"addr:property" is the expanded format of the number. "addr:place" is an 
area with multiple premises and "addr:property" is an individually 
identified unit of accommodation/workspace/storage ... for a UK address 
template addr:place comes after addr:street and before addr:town while 
the estate name would normally come before addr:street ... but a UK 
addr:postcode would provide all the addr:street and later elements, just 
needing a tidy property reference ...
