In April 2010 following the government consultation on open data, Ordnance Survey released a subset of Code-Point® as Code-Point® Open under a royalty free licence.
BPH have produced a new version of our GIS Base Table + Lat/Lon based on the OS data which is not subject to any annual Royal Mail licence fees.
The main differences between the original GBLL table derived from Royal Mail Postzon® and the new Code-Point® CPLL version are;
Postcode areas BT (Northern Ireland), GY/JE (Channel Islands) and IM (Isle of Man) are not present on CPLL
OS Grid References are to 1m resolution on CPLL (100m on GBLL)
Postcode type and delivery point counts are not available on CPLL
CPLL includes LA/UA District and Ward codes + a separate look-up table of the district and ward names
GBLL is available on a monthly basis, CPLL will be available quarterly
The costs of this dataset are £170 for a single edition OR £425 for quarterly (4) editions per annum.
**NEW** - We can now supply a supplementary file for the BT postcode area in the same format as the Code Point Lat/Long file. There will be a small additional data charge of £50 for a single edition OR £125 for quarterly (4) editions, there are no Royal Mail licence fees for this additional data.
You can download a sample of the data (inc a file layout) on the right of this page. The "downloads" area also contains a sample of the LA/UA District and Ward descriptions file. Below is a screen shot of the data.
