LLPG solution for local authorities

As gazetteer specialists, we provide the market leading tools for a local authority to manage their Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG). Our solution (iManage) is the most functionally rich and advanced available, enabling local authorities to create and maintain the properties within their area in the British Standard BS7666, complete with the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) and geographic coordinates. This can then be shared with the national hub run by GeoPlace, as well as sharing with other important operational systems (iExchange). Derived from a number of modules, our solution can be easily tailored to meet your specific needs.

Seamless integration

Having worked closely with the major suppliers of operational systems to the local authorities, our agile LLPG gazetteer will integrate seamlessly with all major public sector systems, allowing you to enjoy the very best address management solution available with the operational system of your choice. All the resulting automated processes reduce the need for manual intervention, and therefore duplication of effort, saving time and money.

Fast, accurate address search

Using state-of-the art technology, REST web services, our cloud-based address search and lookup module (Symphony Search), is fast, accurate, resilient and secure. Using AddressBase Premium – the most up-to-date and accurate address dataset available, it utilises the UPRN as the address anchor.  Searching across any element of a British Standard BS7666 address, your staff and/or third party operational systems can perform sub-second, predictive searches across the whole of GB.

Searches are driven across three or more servers (as opposed to the standard one), so it’s highly resilient and scalable, enabling ultra-rapid searching for mass users running hundreds of searches per second. It’s also highly secure using the most innovative and sophisticated technology for preventing hacking, audit tracking of searches and denial of service attacks.

For those organisations using Esri ArcGIS, our integration solution Esri ArcGIS Search Locator, will allow you to search an address directly from Esri ArcGIS using the address data held in our LLPG gazetteer.

Publishing location and spatial data

Our data engine, Location Manager, will organise all your location and spatial data from all the different systems and will publish this in any format to any user. The type of spatial data could include administrative areas, flood zones, no-go areas or specific demographic belts and are usually, though not restricted to, published as map files.

It can also be automated to synchronise data from other council systems back into the LLPG, by cross-referencing from such systems as the Council Tax system, Electoral Role or Non-domestic rates, ensuring all data is fully up-to-date before exporting to the national hub.

Enhanced business data

We can further enhance the already extensive set of commercial addresses by merging this with business names data supplied by 118 Information. This is focused on business properties which change on a regular basis. This data is tracked extensively by the specialist firm 118 Information, saving local authorities diminishing resources for such updates. This will give any local authority the edge for delivery of services and accurate billing to commercial premises.

Adding local data

Our LLPG gazetteer also allows the BS7666 property data to be extended by adding property data of specific interest to the council, using the Xtended Data Manager (XDM). Of particular interest to planning departments, this could be anything from land, natural or man-made features not nationally recorded. It could also include risk data, useful for staff doing residential visits.

Tailoring our solution

As a modular solution, you can select only those modules that are relevant to you. Powerful and easy to use, our LLPG gazetteer solution is implemented by over 100 local authorities in Great Britain, helping them to drive substantial efficiencies, as well as accuracy.

You can either subscribe to our LLPG gazetteer to manage and maintain in-house yourself, or we can do all of that for you as a hosted cloud based solution.

The full LLPG solution is mapped out below. Any permutation of this can be cherry picked to provide the solution that suits you.
