The purpose of INSPIRE is to allow spatial data to be comparable across regions in the UK and Europe to give decision makers consistent evidence about the environment. The regulation came into force in 2009 and its implementation is being led by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs UK INSPIRE team (for further information see INSPIRE Regulations).
West Lindsey 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 West Lindsey District Council datasets fall into the scope of Annex III.
This first phase has to be delivered by December 2013 and discovery, view and download services are to be published for INSPIRE Annex III datasets.
