BPH have produced a new version of our GIS Base Table + Lat/Lon based on 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 OS Code-Point® based version are;
Postcode areas BT (Northern Ireland), GY/JE (Channel Islands) and IM (Isle of Man) are not present on PGLL
OS Grid References are to 1m resolution on PGLL (100m on GBLL)
Postcode type and delivery point counts are not available on PGLL
PGLL 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, PGLL is 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 Postcode Grid 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.
