Hi,

In road construction and the like, the designers would always do their own 
surveying, using the OSI maps only as a guide, as they would have no 
information on how up to date or or accurate the OSI data is. the OSI data 
would also lack some of the information they would be seeking, e.g. tree size 
or exact details of boundaries (height, thickness, make-up). On those drawings, 
you will sometimes see the OSI layer greyed-out in the background with the 
project-specific survey overlaid on it.

As to who owns those surveys and drawings - the engineering consultant or the 
council?
