When it comes to making confident, evidence-based decisions about land and property, the quality of your data is critical. Whether you’re planning new developments, managing a portfolio, or identifying investment opportunities, the ability to see the full picture can be the difference between unlocking value or missing it entirely.
Yet many organisations are still relying on basic, fragmented datasets, manually maintained and often out of date. While these can be a starting point, they rarely tell the whole story. Decisions made on incomplete data risk overlooking constraints, missing opportunities, and wasting valuable time and resources.
That’s why LANDCLAN has teamed up with Esri to help organisations take the first step towards richer insights – making Great Britain’s land parcel boundary data freely available to all Esri users through the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.
Start with Parcel Boundaries – Available Now in ArcGIS
The Land Parcel Boundary Dataset, now available as a free tile layer in the Esri Living Atlas, provides parcel-level boundaries built using authoritative INSPIRE index polygons for England, Wales, and Scotland.
Integrated directly into ArcGIS tools, this dataset allows you to:
✅ Visualise parcel-level land boundaries with confidence.
✅ Build dynamic web applications without complex data management.
✅ Analyse and map at scale with ease.
The dataset includes key high-level attributes such as parcel size and ownership categories (e.g., company, local authority, private), plus indicators for potential constraints like flood risk, heritage restrictions, and environmental sensitivities.
It’s a quick, seamless way for any organisation to begin exploring land and property data in a more meaningful way – and lays the foundation for smarter, faster decisions.
Why Enrich Your Land and Property Data?
Land and property often hold hidden risks or untapped potential. Enriched data allows you to interrogate sites from every angle – helping you:
• Identify development opportunities that align with planning policies and avoid environmental or legal constraints.
• Reduce risk and save time by screening out unviable options early.
• Build trust with stakeholders by demonstrating due diligence and traceability in your decisions.
• Stay ahead of changing policies, environmental priorities, and market conditions.
For example:
- Which council-owned sites could meet housing targets without harming biodiversity?
- Which parcels are viable for renewable energy development without constraints?
- Which parts of your portfolio are at risk from flooding or heritage restrictions?
Without enriched data, these insights remain buried.
