Acacia Programme - final reports

"Acacia" is the name given to a recent programme of work jointly undertaken by a number of bodies - the VOA, Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, Ordnance Survey, Local Government Information House and Royal Mail - which hold extensive property data and, in particular, address information. The programme has been considering how to join up these data sources to form one, accurate, up to date and readily accessible national infrastructure of addresses, along with related mapping and property information. Details of the work that has been undertaken is contained in the attached reports which are being published to assist future planning.
