Adding & Editing Properties - Adding a New Property

🏙️ Step 1: Select the Street

1. Identify the street to which the new property will be linked.

2. Double-click the street record so it is centered in the GGP map window.

💡 Tip:

• Always select the street to which the new BLPU and LPI should be assigned, not an existing property nearby.

• For example, if a new development is being added, the street may run along the other edge of the land. Ensure you click the correct street to maintain correct numbering.

• In the example below, we wish to attach a new property to the Close (to the West), not the street of the existing building it is in the grounds of (which is to the South)
