Not necessarily. The lines are only indicative as to where ownership starts and ends (e.g. if there are original physical boundary features - fenceposts etc. - on the ground, those take precedence over the lines on the Land Registry plans). But the lines can still be *exactly* where they are on a reference grid (presumably the reference grid of the OS basemaps the Land Registry uses).Basically, I'd characterize it as a sort of legal workaround. The Land Registry buys the necessary licences to be allowed to trace features from the OS 1:2500 map; thus, the Land Registry draws its polygons; then the Land Registry releases its polygons under a permissive licence, so we can trace features from the Land Registry polygons (possibly with an extra intermediate step of aligning some satellite imagery to the Land Registry polygons then tracing the features from the satellite imagery).
