## What is its value?

Spot data patterns: Property level coordinates allow you to conduct analysis at the level of individual addresses and spot patterns hidden in your own data.

Shape your operations: With UPRNs being assigned as soon as planning permission is granted, you'll have all the information you need to shape the way you plan, operate and communicate with your audience.

Enable efficient processes: Each address is referenced by the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN), a persistent identifier for each address allowing you to manage addresses and making your processes more efficient.

The data is interoperable with other OS National Geographic Database (NGD) datasets through cross-reference information with the UPRN as the key identifier, allowing you to easily combine multiple datasets to answer analytical questions.
