Address interpolations cannot run along the outside of a building, and these addresses will not work correctly. These need an interpolation way instead, leading from somewhere near the main entrance to "inside", away from the main entrance to convey corect meaning, if we can't go inside and find where all the corridors and staircases really are :)

Separate stairway-exclusive address ranges work similarly, if there's an external door to the siaircase.

See Cooper House and Marina House for how it's supposed to be done. Since these are street addresses, not flat addresses, the house name is unneccessary for the address. The only alternatives is addr:place and addr:parentstreet, but that's very counterintuitive. It is sufficient if all the addresses as interpolated are within the building outline.

addr:housename has the same level of meaning as addr:housenumber. It is not subordinate.

Shops "practical completion anticipated January 2026", according to https://www.vailwilliams.com/property/barton-park-oxford/. So assume more access behind by then, and shops soon thereafter.

Revisit in the new year, I guess?

Check: does this link and building entrance exist any more? From memory, it would seem to pass through the back half of M&S.

footpaths and turning/delivery space down the front of IDRM and Boundary Brook House need adding. They usefully link up Old Road and Roosevelt Drive for pedestrians and cyclists now that the shared track near the GHB site is heavily restricted.

There is a new public artwork scattered around Oxford North now, in 8 parts: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPOp3rQj9ek/ "Your planetary assembly", 2025, by (Studio) Olafur Eliasson. Marker position approximate, of course.

"Eight glass polyhedrons spread across Fallaize Park [that] invite you to gather, talk, spend time, and share space with one another", says the Instagram post.

So presumably the site is now publicly accessible on foot from at least one of the two surrounding urban motorways that have bike tracks? Have to check.

Is the restaurant still open? The website is active, but the opening hours always show 'closed'.

These roads are now designated as School Street(s), according to the County Council website. In other words, there are now additional restrictions around school opening and closing times, which should be signposted on the roads already.

Need to find the road extents, then tag the relevant bits of road with the tags we decide on.

these are more like a golf course and tennis/basketball courts
