Improved quality and easier administration online

Local authorities depend on geodata: information about roads, nature conservation, soil types, environmental impact and so on. They generate much of this information themselves, so it belongs to the local authority in question. Nevertheless, they still have to collect just as much information from other geodata producers, store it and keep it up to date - and quite how often they do so can vary.

However, the level of inaccuracy and unreliability increases when almost all the work has to be done manually, as it is today. Within the new infrastructure, updated geodata is available online. This means that there is no longer a risk of a building permit, for example, being processed incorrectly because the case officer could not access the latest nature conservation regulations from the Country Council.
