INSPIRE Compliance

Purpose

The purpose of INSPIRE is to allow spatial data to be comparable across regions, the UK and Europe to give consistent evidence about the environment. The regulation came into force in 2009 and its implementation is being led by the UK INSPIRE team in Defra for further information see (INSPIRE Regulations 2007).

North Kesteven District Council has statutory obligations to progressively publish metadata and data for geographical information.

Phase 1 of INSPIRE covers the publication of existing datasets. The majority of our datasets fall into the scope of Annex III.
