This page details upcoming data that will be provided for the new Matched Address Feature Type value Code List in the OS NGD from the end of September 2025 to give you early insight. This code list is currently not available through the live access services. The information on this page is as accurate as possible, but is subject to change before launch.

This code list is used in association with the Matched Address Feature Type attribute which is present within the Royal Mail Address Feature Type. The code list describes the feature type containing the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) that has been matched to the Unique Delivery Point Reference Number (UDPRN).

This code list will be useful for customers wanting to gain insight from Local Authority Address attribution (for example, Built Address). The labels can be joined to the Description attribute labels in Local Authority Address feature types to gain insight.

Label	Definition
Built Address	The Built Address Feature Type represents local authority addresses that are currently built and live and can typically receive mail, deliveries, or services. For example, homes, shops, schools and hospitals.
Historic Address	The Historic Address Feature Type represents local authority addresses that are no longer in existence. This can occur as a result of demolition or the merging of two built properties to become one new single address, or the splitting of a single property into multiple flats for example.
Non Addressable Object	The Non-Addressable Object Feature Type represents local authority and Ordnance Survey captured features that are currently live but are objects that would not be expected to be able to receive mail or deliveries. These objects typically represent structures or sites rather than buildings that somebody could conceivably live, work or engage in leisure activities within. For example, ponds and static water sites, public parks and telephone boxes.
Prebuild Address	The Pre-Build Address Feature Type represents local authority addresses that will be able to receive mail, deliveries or services, where the property is either yet to be built but has been granted planning permission, or is under construction. Pre-build addresses can take the format of a development site, a plot number, or a definitive address for property units.
