- More Information
- Code-Point is derived from Gridlink data – ADDRESS-POINT, which was initially
created from a comparison of the Royal Mail PAF, Land-Line and the ROADS database datasets from Ordnance
Survey and administrative and national health area codes created by ONS, LPS and GROS, but allocated using Ordnance Survey Boundary-Line data and positioned with an Ordnance
Survey NGref. It also contains the BT postcodes for Northern Ireland, locations for which are supplied by LPS. - Change History
Use of the data is available to any organisation that is a member of the PSGA (Public Sector Geospatial Agreement) or any UK academic institution via Edina's subscription Digimap service. It is not currently commercially available.
