It’s your data, you already have it

  • Every local authority in England and Wales helps to maintain the national address and street databases and has their own local version
  • Local authorities are the first to know about local changes. That’s because you have the statutory responsibility for granting planning permission and the naming and numbering of new streets and properties. Every local authority uses this information to help maintain its Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG), a database containing the official, legally known address and location for all properties within your authority
  • You have a Custodian who manages that data, daily. It’s your data, you already have it and you also have experts who can show you how to use it.

So, how well are you using address data and its UPRN?

  • This document walks you through how well your authority is utilising address data and its UPRN
  • Integration refers to how well address data and its UPRN are being used (relied upon, updated and handled)
  • Address data is typically used by software systems used to deliver your authority’s services to residents, but any department using an address has the potential to use the UPRN.
  • The information is based upon your authority’s responses to the GeoPlace annual improvement schedule survey 2023-24 and previous years, completed by your designated Authority Address Custodian or other authorised individual.
