GeoPlace: creating the national address & street gazetteer databases

GeoPlace

GeoPlace is a public sector limited liability partnership between the Local Government Association and Ordnance Survey. Our vision is to be the recognised centre of excellence for spatial address and street information management in Great Britain.

GeoPlace's role is to create and maintain the National Address Gazetteer Database and the National Street Gazetteer for England and Wales, providing definitive sources of publicly-owned spatial address and street data. AddressBase™ products are produced from the National Address Gazetteer Database and made available by Ordnance Survey.

Local and central government working in partnership

Dartford use Local Street Gazetteer for parks "Completion of these products has only been possible following the many years of hard work and commitment by local authorities and their partners which has now been built on by the teams at GeoPlace and Ordnance Survey working together. The partnership approach between local and central government demonstrates how government can work together for the benefit of the whole of the public sector and also deliver benefits to the private sector as well."

Authority Address or Authority Street Custodian

Using LLPGs & LSGs to save energy Authority Address and Authority Street Custodians are vital to the success of GeoPlace, the AddressBase products and the National Street Gazetteer.

The local authorities capture and maintain address and street change intelligence, each with a Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) or Unique Street Reference Number (USRN) and send GeoPlace over 5,000 update files per month. Across local authorities as a whole, there are around 2 million records modified and sent to GeoPlace each month.

Dedicated resources to help Authority Address Custodians are available on the NLPG website whilst resources for Authority Street Custodians can be found on the NSG website.
