The National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) is the definitive, national address list that provides unique identification of land and property and conforms to BS7666. Emergency services also have access to the National Street Gazetteer (NSG) that extends on the street information held in the NLPG. Both are available to the emergency services free of charge under the Mapping Services Agreement. NLPG was chosen to underpin the FiReControl Project in 2007 based on the accuracy, reliability and currency of the data.
