OS MasterMap Sites
The whole is greater than the sum of the parts
OS MasterMap Sites provides a consistent, nationally maintained view of the detailed extents and access points of important locations in Great Britain. The form and function nature of OS MasterMap Sites makes it suitable for risk modelling, business analysis and informed decision-making.
OS MasterMap Sites
The OS MasterMap Sites features are a representation of what people see in the real world, where the common view of something (such as a school) is not the address, the main building or the playing fields, but is the site as a whole.
OS MasterMap Sites does not indicate the definitive or legal extent of a site, but rather the extent of usage or function, represented as polygons. Vehicular and pedestrian access points are also provided.
This product is updated every six months (April and October).
Convenient themes
OS MasterMap Sites covers seven practical themes:
- Air transport – airfield, airport, helicopter stations, heliport
- Education – first / infant / junior / middle / secondary schools, further / higher education and universities. Special needs education
- Medical care – hospice, hospital, medical care accommodation
- Rail transport – railway stations, vehicular rail terminal, tram station
- Road transport – coach stations, bus station, road user services
- Water transport – vehicular ferry terminal, passenger ferry terminal, port consisting of docks and nautical berthing
- Utility & industrial – chemical works, electricity distribution, electricity production, gas distribution or storage, oil distribution or storage, oil refining, oil terminal
Access all areas
As well as a polygon describing the extend of a site, OS MasterMap Sites contains access points. An access point refers to a functionally designed and maintained location where pedestrians and/or vehicles can enter or leave a site.
Access points are point features which are usually positioned on the boundary of the functional site extent to which they belong. They can also contain access information such as height and time or vehicular restrictions. The access point also references the nearest OS Highways Network link TOID. This allows the user to easily integrate the data with other OS datasets such as the OS MasterMap Highways.
