Public Land Audit

Realising your assets is becoming a hot topic.  Increasing pressure is being placed on local government to save money by understanding all of the assets controlled by individual Authorities. A Public Land Audit is the ideal solution to bring together all of the elements. 

For an example, the demand for affordable housing is increasing but how do you establish what land is available to you? 

GeODC’s Public Land Audit service addresses these issues, we collate information from many different public sources, City, County and District councils, emergency services such as the Fire Brigade and the Police Authority, Primary Care Trusts and the Ministry of Defence.

The data held by each of these organisations comes in many different formats; deed packets, land terrier, paper case files, Land Registry maps and electronic data:

 

Once all of this information has been gathered it is then digitally captured for insertion into the Authority’s GIS. This data audit enables the Council and Local Strategic Partnership to make better use of their collective assets, and provide a view to aid specific projects including affordable housing, access to services and economic development. 

For those of you who like paper format, we also produce a full report which includes;

  • Statistical Analysis
  • Total size of each site broken down by public body
  • The boundary of each site
  • The land use of each site
