A lookup between Output Areas (OA), Lower layer Super Output Areas (LSOA) and Middle layer Super Output Areas (MSOA) at March 2021 and Local Authority Districts (LAD) and Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP) in England as at May 2022.

The first two fields show the LEP that each OA falls into, allocated on a best-fit basis, the second two fields show the second LEP that the OA has been allocated to if it is contained in an overlapping LEP.
Field Names – OA21CD, LSOA21CD, LSOA21NM, MSOA21CD, MSOA21NM, LEP21CD1, LEP21NM1, LEP21CD2, LEP21NM2, LAD22CD, LAD22NM (60 MB)Field Types – Text, Text, Text, Text, Text, Text, Text, Text, Text, Text, Text
