As a member of the public or planning-system user, I need to find applications by local area so that I can understand planning activity affecting places I live, work in or care about.

Justification

Justification just-0049

The `address-text` field lets a site be identified and found using a familiar location description where a usable address is available. The `postcode` field supports a common route for searching by location and helps users find applications affecting a local area. The `description` field supports sites that are commonly identified by a descriptive phrase, such as a plot of land near a junction or landmark. Together, `address-text`, `postcode`, `description` 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.
