UK must ‘unlock’ geospatial data to improve planning
Fragmented geospatial data collection and ownership is undermining planning decisions in the UK, according to a new government-backed report.
The report from the Geospatial Commission, an independent expert committee with Cabinet Office backing, has made a series of recommendations for unlocking the potential of data to improve both planning and development across the country. Among the findings were that the quality and objectivity of planning decisions can be undermined by “the lack of interconnectedness and interoperability between related datasets” collected for different purposes.
The software used by different disciplines was also faulted for “locking users into systems that can’t talk to one another”, while access to ‘raw’ geospatial data was too often “a manual and time-consuming exercise”, according to the report.
