FEATURES

Overview

Parish Online is a web-based mapping system that can be accessed from any internet enabled computer. It has been designed to help Town and Parish Councils view essential geographic and map based information and to create their own map layers which can be used to build a detailed and accurate asset register, produce maps for Neighbourhood and Emergency Plans and much more.

All data and software is hosted here in the UK bundled into a single easy-to-use interface.

Tools

View

View and overlay over 150 layers of information for your Parish and the surrounding area ranging from high resolution base mapping to accident records, environmental land classifications and flood risk. You can also access all associated information attached to each object displayed on the map.

Search

Use the available search tools to find an address, settlement, specific map location or object on the map.

Create

Create your own layers of information to maintain an asset register, gather evidence for your neighbourhood plan or map out useful information. Each layer can be styled individually and you can also attach any related files such as photos or reference documents.

Analyse

The measurement tool allows you to calculate areas and line lengths. Using simple queries you can also extract information from the map for a particular area of interest e.g. extracting addresses within a 100m radius of a new housing development.

Export

Use the print tool to download PDF or PNG maps or download the contents of a layer to a CSV file that can be opened as a table in Microsoft Excel.

Share valuable information with those in your council and parish. You can put your maps on a public display board, as a download from your website or display them on a public information board.
