Repeated changeset name. Should have been 'Orchard Way houses'

Hiya. If you are plotting houses, you will find the OSMUK Cadastral Parcel layer in iD really useful. When you are in edit mode click on the layers button and scroll down to the 'Overlays' section.

Happy mapping,
Jez

pedantry corner: I know that it is a plaque and it is blue in colour, but technically a "blue plaque" is one that is issued by English Heritage. We've just never been able to go through the PITA to remove the tag

Hi Paul, I'm thinking that addr:substreet=Eastwoods + addr:parentstreet=Ditchling Road would be more applicable here. Otherwise we are sort-of stating that 9 adjoined buildings are all individually named 'Eastwoods'. It could be a terrace, but the road does have a road sign. - Jez

It's looking great in demo.f4map.com !

erm?! "The Peoples' free Republic of Trumpton"?

Hi Paul, There has been a bit of debate on this for B&H since turning into a city. I was originally on the 'Brighton' or 'Hove' camp but got overruled. We will eventually do some mass updates to make it consistent. Alternatively, it ends in an 'edit war' :(

Hi BrookeP,
If you click 'Edit', then go into the 'background settings' layer menu there is a very useful layer in 'Overlays' called 'OSMUK Cadastral Parcels'. This can help you plot individual houses rather then terrace blocks (like i've just done on the Park Lane corner)....or continue with terraces, but eventually they will need to be chopped up by someone.

Happy mapping!

The benefit of classifying different types of houses will probably only become apparent when we have whole large areas mapped....e.g. "how many detached houses are there in Brighton & Hove?", "How does the pattern of housing change across the City?"....

I did get the note about the Hubs. Good work!

I'm starting to think that mapping every single house in B&H might be possible!

Nice work, thank you.

No problem. Replacing the tanning place I assume. I've moved it down.

Hi Will, are you absolutely sure that there is a Post Office here? Is it where Ladbrokes used to be?
Regards, Jez

Although, I can see in changeset/160612119 that you are doing this. Good stuff. BTW the aerial photos are a tiny bit offset and can be adjusted in the layers section too.
Good to have you here.

Hi, if you open the layers tool, scroll down to 'Overlays' and select the 'OSMUK Cadastral Parcels' you will be able to see where houses are semi-detached and plot them as 2 houses. Otherwise someone (probably me) will have to go through and split them all.
Best wishes, Jez.

Hi Jonah,

Most farm buildings are rectangular or have 90-degree corners. Not every building, but most. You can square up your plots with shift-Q.

Jez

Note that Withernwick Wind Farm and Extension are already defined in relation/8396634
Wind farms are unusual because they are the relation of the turbines and not a clear boundary as there is no fence or demarcation on the ground. The standard OSM map doesn't currently display them, but have a look at https://openinframap.org/#11.44/53.8463/-0.1314

Thank you. Done. As you can probably tell, this is my local neighborhood and micro mapping playground

Yes, it is a bit of an oddity. I know that there is a debate going on at Talk-GB mailing list. What's the definition of 'public transport'? 'state owned' or 'anyone can buy a ticket and travel to somewhere (e.g. Btn Aquarium to Black Rock)'

Nope. Apologies if it affected your app.

It did make me laugh :)
