Yes it is usual.

Being a public highway only gives limited rights regarding moving 
vehicles and people.  Some more rights may arise if it is also 
maintained at public expense.


Whilst I may have originally stated that ownership belongs to the 
fronting properties (but note that the duty to maintain unadopted public 
highways does belong to those), public highways will generally be owned 
by either the fronting properties, or the developer that created those 
properties.  In the latter case, there is a good chance that they have 
gone out of business and the land was unsellable, so has reverted to the 
Crown.


I live in blocks of flats that were built around the end of a cul de 
sac, whilst it was unadopted.  It is now adopted, but there has been no 
change to the freehold title as a result, so the end of the road still 
belongs to the flats, although maintained at public expense.


I saw the original title plans for the first place my parents owned, and 
their boundaries went to the middle of the road.  That was possibly 
before compulsory land registration, so I would need to pay a small fee 
to see what the registered title plan says.


Looking at the new build house they then bought, and noting that it the 
Land Registry map search is not precise enough to isolate just a road, 
one find that as well the individual plots, what must be the road itself 
is identified as "Land associated with xx xx Avenue", where xx 
xx is constant throughout the estate.  I imagine the title register 
for this will show the builder/developer as the owner.


Note that public highways don't have to be adopted (maintained at public 
expense), so both the legal ownership and maintenance responsibility can 
be private.


Certain statutory undertaking do get a right to ride roughshod over 
property rights, and being maintained at public expense does appear to 
include granting rights for things like phone boxes and telecoms cabinets.

Is the complication anything to do with the history of the Severn Valley
Plotlands (not sure if this is its title)? From the names of the chalets on
the compulsory purchase order map we're in (or close to) that territory I
think.

I've added a "citation needed".

AFAIK it may only become apparent when you try to sell your house. It is
one of the checks that is made by a conveyancer. It depends how strongly
they like to apply the rules. One of those things that could slow down a
house purchase.but you are quite right people either don't know or
ignore itor it is no longer a requirement.

That is either not true, or the law has fallen into disrepute.  With the 
car parkification of front yards, boundary features in front yards are a 
dying species.  That definitely applies to the private/adopted land 
boundary, but also commonly applies to neighbouring properties.

Private/adopted boundaries are often very difficult to see in shopping 
areas, such that most people think that environmental crime is the 
responsibility of the council when it is actually on the shop forecourt, 
and the responsibility of shopowner.  The boundaries between private 
forecourts of shops can be even more difficult to see there may be a

Hi,

> Even if it were open .. does OSM want it?

Parcel boundaries have generally been undesirable in OSM in the past,
mostly because to a lack of on-the-ground verifiability. The advice has
always been: If there's a fence, map the fence, not the boundary. If
there's no fence, then you don't know there's a boundary.

If someone needs the boundaries they can use them them from the open
data source themselves.

That doesn't mean that people have not imported parcels of course. I
think that in a discussion on talk-us, someone once claimed that it can
be important to know for a rambler if they're on public or private land
because they're more likely to get shot on private land. Hope this is
not so much of a concern in the UK ;)

landuse=residential combined with addr:*

It is something I would definitely want included if it were possible to 
capture the data.  The main reason it is rare at the moment is probably 
that it is very difficult to deduce boundary lines from aerial images 
without very detailed local knowledge or surveys, of land that is private.

Re: [Talk-GB] Property extents

2019-01-10 Thread SK53
I think in both France & Spain the cadastral information has been used
largely for mapping buildings and not land-parcels.

In places I know the French cadastral parcel data is difficult to
interpret: overlapping parcels; individual buildings as multiple parcels;
parcel boundaries not according to the location of the little yellow
boundary markers on the ground etc. I presume some of these are artefacts
of how the cadastre is maintained by each commune and subsequent
digitisation. In some cases cadastral parcels do not seem to be
consolidated, so it's impossible to actually derive real property
boundaries without some on-the-ground knowledge.

I'm pushed to think of lots of things I might do with parcel boundaries:
accurate location of urban footpaths is one, nature reserve boundaries
another (either directly or because NE data ceases to be encumbered). I
don't know how much the parcels will accord with things like field
boundaries in rural areas: I'll take a look at the LR Inspire data for S
Derbyshire to get an idea.

Agreed, though I wonder whether this will have any correlation with Land 
Registry. I'm guessing .gov isn’t that joined up.

Re: [Talk-GB] Property extents

Here's one of Jerry's blog posts about the not-so-open Land Registry data:

https://sk53-osm.blogspot.com/2013/10/not-very-inspired-land-registry-open.html

and my post about testing using them:

https://chris-osm.blogspot.com/2013/10/land-registry-inspire-polygons.html

As Tom says, these datasets are not Open Data and we cannot use them as 
a data source in OSM. I feel that the Open Government Licence should not 
be used in this case as it isn't  Open.

Hi Andy,

The same proved to be true of the Land Registry Prices Paid which now

DO NOT USE THIS.

You need to read the license properly, and especially the linked
document with "third party conditions" from OS that has all sorts
of unacceptable restrictions:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/inspire-index-polygons-spatial-data#conditions-of-use
https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/about/governance/policies/inspire-index-polygons-licensing-terms.html

I imagine the upcoming hopefully properly free data will basically
be the same though.

Actually, that seems more valuable to OSM than the building outlines as 
it is much more difficult to accurately recover from aerial imagery and 
ground surveys can normally only see front yards.

[Talk-GB] Property extents

2019-01-09 Thread Rob Nickerson
Hi all,

You may recall that the geospatial commission & ordnance survey have
announced that they will be releasing "property extents". By chance I found
myself in a meeting room with both organisations so I asked what "property
extents" means. It is the land area (e.g. garden boundary of a detached
house) rather than the building outline. They deem the building outline to
have too high a commercial value under their current funding mechanism.

I also found out that the commission received over 200 responses (202 I
think) hence the delay. They will be providing a summary of the responses.

Best regards,
Rob
