How Land Passport would be built.
A proposed architecture connecting authoritative UK land, planning and environmental data with land intelligence and interactive digital twins. Every provider named below is a proposed integration — not an active connection or an endorsement.
One intelligent platform.
A connected world of land data.
Land Passport proposes to connect authoritative UK geospatial records, AI-led land intelligence and interactive digital twins into one persistent property record—from raw land to occupation and beyond.
01 / The proposed technology model
From data to intelligence to digital twinUK mapping & titles
Property identifiers, indicative freehold geometry, address links and historical sales evidence.
UK planning & environment
Adopted policy, environmental designations, flood exposure, ground conditions and energy records.
Google geospatial services
3D geographic context, satellite analysis and scalable environmental change intelligence.
FOX GIS & Identity Engine
Source connectors → validation → one FOX site identifier linked to UPRNs, title identifiers and survey geometry → secure spatial storage in PostGIS. Each record retains provenance, data vintage, access permissions and revision history.
Land IQ
Planning potential, constraints, risk scoring, scenarios, value assumptions and explainable analysis.
Planning data interface ↗Cesium + BIM
Interactive 3D GIS, proposed buildings, terrain, selective layers and model comparison in the browser.
CesiumJS ↗NVIDIA + OpenUSD
Advanced rendering, scene interoperability and specialist physics or sensor simulations.

Land discovery → planning → design → construction → occupation → operation and renewal.
Conceptual architecture: the branded services above are proposed integrations, not an indication that suppliers have endorsed or connected to Land Passport.
02 / Derby pilot: what the demonstrator will show
- 01Identify a site — location, linked identifiers and indicative extent.
- 02Understand constraints — planning policy, access, flood, ecology and environmental context.
- 03Test design scenarios — BIM/IFC model, 3D context, planning potential and indicative viability.
- 04Preserve the record — evidence, decisions, permissions and ongoing lifecycle updates.

Each dataset needs attribution, access and commercial-use checks; Google imagery is a licensed visual layer, not a cadastral survey. HM Land Registry INSPIRE polygons are indicative, not legal title boundaries. National planning-application coverage remains incomplete, so local planning portals or licensed sources may be required. The proposed pilot must label confidence, coverage and record date.
