We’re celebrating the launch of Land Explorer!

Land Explorer is our interactive online mapping platform that provides access to information on land; such as use, ownership and planning. We’ve been improving and updating our initial prototype and are ready to launch our latest BETA version!

Come and join us- test drive new mapping and drawing tools, enrol in future BETA launches, give us feedback.

We’d love the pleasure of your company, so come and celebrate with land professionals, policy folk, public servants, data geeks, and common good land users.

It's a drop-in event - join us any time from 4 - but we'll have a little intro and demonstration of the platform around 5. We'll wrap up around 7 and will stay at Newspeak to watch the football if anyone would like to stay and join us.

Our aim is to provide community groups, charities and not for profit businesses who manage land for public benefit, with access to the information they need, so everyone has easy access to information about the land around them.

Even in an age of increasingly open data, finding information about land can be time consuming, complicated and costly.

Developers and corporate landowners who purchase and develop land for private profit have the resources to do this but communities, and those seeking to own and manage land for the common good, often can’t access the same information.

Land Explorer has been created in response to this, utilising soon-to-be opened up MasterMap data from Ordnance Survey, and a range of other open data, to empower communities and enable more land to be managed for the common good.

Land Explorer helps to level the playing field for community-led development: housing, workspaces, green spaces, energy generation and rural or farming enterprises.

Land Explorer: spaces to live, work, play, generate & grow.
