Local Land & Property Gazetteer (LLPG)

 

The LLPG is a single, definitive address and street dataset (which includes a position on a Map) and delivers significant cost savings across the authority. This is through the provision of a single database that assists with the streamlining of services, reduces duplication and facilitates partnership working.  The LLPG team enhances integration between service functions and forms the corporate information resource required to support the achievement of policy objectives, such as route optimisation, customer relationship and asset management. 

It can also increase operational benefits for all users. The team will continue to develop and maintain Northumberland’s gazetteer ensuring a consistent and thorough approach to data quality, any new developments must be compatible with the current gazetteers and British Standard (BS7666).  The team’s role also includes developing the use of the gazetteer to meet the business needs of the authority both in established areas and through pro-actively seeking new areas where information and technology will improve operational performance, cost savings and service delivery to the public.  In addition, the team will continue to submit data to the central hub for continued compilation into the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) fulfilling our legal obligation under the Data Cooperation Agreement (DCA) and the Public Sector Mapping Agreement (PSMA).

 

LSG Local Street Gazetteer (LSG)

 

The LSG is a single, definitive street dataset information for England and Wales collected at source from the originators of street change intelligence.  The LSG is continually updated by highways authorities and changes are incorporated into it every month at the national hub where it becomes the NSG ( National Street Gazetteer ).

The LSG is the only dataset built to BS7666:2006 standards that incorporates all public, prospectively adopted and private streets in England and Wales.  The Unique Street Reference Numbers (USRNs) and the Elementary Street Unit (ESU) reference numbers provide a national unique identifier. This allows users of the LSG to tie their data together across applications making sharing of information corporately and across industry seamless and efficient. Enabling cashable savings by interlinking disparate datasets and systems.
