Acolaid Land & Property Gazetteer

"Implementing Plantech's gazetteer has certainly provided us with greatly improved functionality and is enabling us to manage our LLPG far more effectively."
— Tony Phillips, GIS Manager, London Borough of Barnet

The Acolaid LPG is an independent land and property gazetteer management system. It complies fully with the latest version of the British Standard BS7666, and is accredited for data exchange with the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG).

A full site history of cases that are linked to the property is automatically generated, whether they have originated in Bulding Control, planning or other departments. This information may then be used, for instance, in the delivery of a land charge search to NLIS, appeals information to the Planning Portal, and other on-line services using Idox group's Acolaid ACOLNET web technology.

"We chose the Acolaid LPG because the product provides a complete solution to gazetteer maintenance and improvement. It's easy to use, logical to navigate and above all it promises to integrate seamlessly with our other systems."
— Sally Worsley, South Oxfordshire District Council

Data within the Acolaid LPG can be shared with legacy and third party systems using the LPG Connector. In our experience this fundamental requirement of an LLPG ie to communicate with a variety of other property systems, is frequently overlooked. Integration with other council applications is central to the Acolaid LPG, as this is where councils will see a noticeable return on their investment in address data.
