The Issue: If an Alloy Asset happens to overlap two or more USRN's the current permit application doesnt handle this.
By using Street Manager Street Lookup API you could populate the USRN in the application from the Alloy Job location. Regardless of what usrn the asset is connected to within Alloy.
This would also ensure it is the correct USRN, instead of a potentially outdated version of the NSG within Alloy.

We are looking at a different solution whereby instead of using 2D line strings to define the extent of road surfaces, instead use 3D polygons derived from the OS Topographical Area dataset, that way any point that intersects the polygon can be associated with it. If you use the OS Open Linked Identifiers you can join them together, although the overlaps you mentioned (where roads can cross over each other at junctions) have 'inferred links' which you would need to disambiguate manually.
This could also be extented to an option on designs, in which all items in the design are auto network referanced to the USRN found from the API.
