The newly published Geospatial Commission report \u2018Finding Common Ground<\/a>\u2019 sets out the findings and recommendations from its National Land Data Programme (NLDP). The report explains that complex decisions around land use can and should be supported by spatial data and modelling to enable better and more informed decision making, given that land in the UK is a finite resource.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BGS was commissioned to work with the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission<\/a> (FFCC) and Westcountry Rivers Trust<\/a> as part of FFCC\u2019s development of a land-use framework<\/a>. The NLDP included a series of national-scale projects and regional \u2018deep dive\u2019 pilots in Devon, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Northern Ireland, and Newcastle. Further information about these and can be found in the pilot and project overview<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t
