    @Land_Registry may be able to help.

    Land doesn't have an address, simply a location e.g. land on the north side of.........
    See PG 1 section 4.3 for guidance - Practice guide 1: first registrations - GOV.UK

    Could you use What Three Words?

    I may not have thanked you but I meant to, honest!

    OP needs to describe the land as part of the application so for example 'land shown coloured pink on Conveyancer dated dd/mm/yyyy.

    There is no requirement to have a confirmed 'address' as OP implies

    As to using What Three Words - one day it might be a thought but seems unlikely for now as the words identify a 3m x 3m square. And for land the property description use don the land register is always read in conjunction with it's title plan to help identify the registered extent of that land

    I'm assuming the land is in England & Wales
