Fact Sheet: Land Assembly Explained

A guide to what Land Assembly mode is, how to use it, and what you can do with a multi-parcel site once it has been saved.

Updated this week

What is Land Assembly?

Land Assembly is a tool that lets you combine multiple individual land parcels into a single site boundary for assessment. Rather than evaluating each parcel separately, you can select adjacent or non-adjacent parcels and save them as one site, giving you a unified view of all the data across the combined area.

This is particularly useful when a development opportunity spans multiple ownerships or title references and you want to assess the total site as a whole.


How to use Land Assembly

Step 1 - Activate Land Assembly mode

  • Click the Land Assembly icon in the toolbar at the top of the map (the house icon)

  • The map will enter Land Assembly mode

Step 2 - Turn on Ownership Boundaries

  • Open The Explorer on the left of your screen

  • Toggle on Ownership Boundaries to make individual parcels visible on the map

  • This allows you to see and select individual title parcels

Step 3 - Select your parcels

  • Hover over a parcel to see it highlighted

  • Click to select it β€” it will be added to your Land Assembly selection

  • Continue clicking additional parcels to build up your site boundary

  • Each selected parcel will appear in the panel on the right, listed by its title reference

Step 4 - Save as a single site

  • Once you have selected all the parcels you want to include, click Save

  • Give the site a name and assign it to a pipeline stage

  • The combined parcels are saved as one site in your pipeline

Step 5 - Assess as a single site

Once saved, the Assessor updates to show the combined site as a single assessment. You will see the full Assessment panel including Insights and all tabs: Planning History, Policies, Environmental, Ownership, and more, aggregated across the entire assembled site boundary.

πŸ’‘ LandTech Tip: Turn on Ownership Boundaries before activating Land Assembly mode so you can clearly see where individual parcel boundaries sit. This makes it much easier to select the right parcels, especially on sites where multiple titles overlap or sit close together.


What you see in the Assessor after saving

After saving an assembled site, the Assessor displays data for the combined boundary as a whole, including:

  • Insights: an at-a-glance summary of key datasets across the full assembled area

  • Planning History: planning applications on and near the combined site

  • Policies: planning policy constraints affecting any part of the assembled site

  • Environmental: flood risk, agricultural land, biodiversity, and other environmental data

  • Ownership: all title references included in the assembly, listed separately

  • All other standard Assessment tabs: covering the full assembled boundary

The total area and perimeter of the combined site are shown at the top of the panel.


Plan availability

Land Assembly is available on all LandInsight plans.
