Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Separating made surface from grass and bare earth polygons as land-cover inputs for drainage runoff estimates · Excluding buildings, roads, structures and water features to derive open land areas for site boundary or FRA land-use baselines · Land-cover context layer for BNG habitat baseline mapping, using heath, rough grassland and grazing land classes

- GIS analysts · drainage engineers · ecologists · planners · hydrologists
Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- Access restricted to OS Partners and PSGA members, so not openly available · Licence field is 'Not set' on the docs page, so reuse terms are unclear · No spatial or temporal resolution or attribute schema is stated in the docs · Reference date (2022-09-29) differs from the last update (10 January 2025)
