Benefits Realisation Strategy for UKLP
A) Ensure that UKLP is delivering the infrastructure and
services that enable other parties to deliver benefits
B) Sample the end benefits
• Case Studies
• Key Beneficiaries
C) Cross-check the sampled end benefits against economic
models

Where Are We Now?
We have
• A Benefits Realisation Strategy in place (published at the
end of April 2012)
• Benefits Model
• Potential Benefits Measures Identified
• Risks and Success Factors Identified
Next Steps
• Review, Refine and Select Measures
• Develop Baselines and Targets
• Develop Strategy for Sampling End Benefits
• Determine the role the User Group can play in driving
benefits realisation forward.
And....
• Identify priority opportunity areas
What is the UK Location User Group?
• Represents the voice of the user community
• Widens stakeholder representation and involvement in UK Location .
• Focal point for user feedback to the Location Council on the requirements and progress in implementing the UK Location Strategy and the INSPIRE Directive.
• Supports UKLP communications activities
• Ensures user communities are informed about the plan and benefits of implementing it.
• Gives users access to best practice, tools and capacity building initiatives to apply to their organisations.
• Meets 3 times a year.

What has been achieved so far?
• Provided a ‘voice’ for users on public sector data provider
dominated Programme
• Advised UK Location Council of users’ key strategic concerns
• Worked collaboratively with the programme team
• Assisted with developing the benefits realisation strategy
• Identified useful case studies
• Established evaluation sub-group to test services being provided
• Engaged with business area user groups (3rd sector, retail,
environment, etc)
• Responded to government consultation on PDC
• Kept represented user sectors informed of progress

A FEW EXAMPLES
13
The Coal Authority - sharing data on the legacy of
coal miningThe challenge
The Coal Authority recognised that improved spatial data sharing
would benefit its relationship with the 180 local authorities whose
geographic areas coincide with coalfields.
The benefits
• automated data sharing becoming part of a common communications
strategy involving Authority stakeholders
• the spatial management of the Authority’s critical business data is being
transformed with efficiency savings automatically built into use and re-use
• sharing data is helping to ensure that people’s safety is taken account of
as they go about their business in former mining areas
The solution
Developing a corporate GIS using common digital standards for the use of spatial data
supported by UKLII
Datasets (mining and site inspection reports) being combined with the land ownership details
held by the local authorities, to provide up-to-date information on the condition of legacy
mines.
Barrow Borough Council – Implementing INSPIRE compliant services
The context
UKLP and LGG looking for public authorities to test the
feasibility of the technical approach to publishing
geospatial data.
The solution
Implementation of an Open Source solution for INSPIRE
publishing services according to specific technical
standards
The benefits
•Use of open source software to provide web services for cataloguing and viewing has replaced
proprietary software.
•Overall savings of £26000 annually in license and software costs
•Making data available through standardised WMS enables the seamless display of data from different
sources.
•Lessons learned are available for other Local Authorities and organisations
Using INSPIRE data: Environment Agency bathing
water linked data pilot
• Uses data from EA and
OS
• Potential for linking to
other data to see the
relationships between
bathing water quality and
visitor numbers and
meteorological events
such as storms
