Make places discoverable using familiar location identifiers

Partially satisfied

As a planning system user or service builder, I need spatial records to include familiar location identifiers, such as addresses or postcodes where available, so that people can find and recognise places without relying only on map geometry or system references.

Justification

Justification just-0049

The `address-text` field lets a site be identified using a familiar postal address or a description of unaddressed land, such as a plot near a junction or landmark. The `postcode` field supports a common route for searching by location and helps users find applications affecting a local area. UPRNs and USRNs help link the site to existing properties, premises and streets where those identifiers are known. Together, `address-text`, `postcode`, `uprns`, `usrns` and `name` support users who recognise places through addresses, postcodes, building names, street descriptions or other plain-language labels rather than through map geometry or system references alone.
