I’d maybe see the benefit for this data in more accurate/consistent landuse=residential areas? The whole “do you include the road, or create the area up to the road” decision. Gareth

In fact, the inquest detailed how officers on the case were later given a much more informative aerial map of the area from the local council, at no cost to police whatsoever. “It is quite apparent the quality of the images of the property on this map is far superior to the Google map images used in the search of the property and one wonders if the same mistake in conducting a search of only half the property would have been made if this map had been obtained,” Deputy State Coroner John Lock said in his report. --------------- There are lots of potential problems from mapping private property extents. Don't think I would want to go there. On 09/01/19 23:40, Andy Robinson wrote: Tom, Jerry, Chris thanks for the very helpful prompts.

I feel that the Open Government Licence should not be used in this case as it isn't Open.

The same proved to be true of the Land Registry Prices Paid which now can only be used if you are an estate agent. Owen has covered both on his Map Gubbins blog. Have to dash, so no time to find the links.

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