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 within the council such as planning, revenues and benefits etc. Derived from a number of modules, our solution can be easily tailored to meet your specific needs.

Efficient address search

The address search module (SinglePoint) enables both people and other systems to search for addresses held in the main LLPG gazetteer. Its front end browser can be deployed across a local authority for any staff member to find a specific property. It also has a set of web services that enable a third party system to carry out an address lookup on the LLPG gazetteer, enabling  a user or system to search across every element of an address including provisional, alternate, historic and Royal Mail addresses. Searches can also be carried out on organisation details and application cross references. This makes every element of an address throughout its full lifecycle available to the local authority.

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.

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.

Organising spatial data

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

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 that is shared with GeoPlace to be extended by adding property data of specific interest to the council. Of particular interest to planning departments, this could be anything from land, natural or man-made features not nationally recorded.

In addition to synchronising, matching (iMatch) and sharing accurate data (iExchange), local authorities can implement the Xtended Data Module (XDM) to record any location specific information against any British Standard BS7666 address, such as risk to staff required by departments 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.
