I was thinking about doing a survey of the whole southern fringe shortly. It's changing rapidly - I suspect the google pic is out of date now too.
I know this area - the Google images that I referenced are accurate for now although there is more development on-going to the west and a couple more roads will undoubtedly be opened within the next few months
I have seen another map which may be a better source than the google images. It is the map that corresponds to the planning permission that was granted:
https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/sites/default/files/docs/trumpington-meadows-composite-plan.pdf
The area with a pale green background to the north of the P&R site (with detail of individual building shapes) has been completed. All of the roads exist and the map appears to be accurate.
The areas to the west and south (white blocks on the map) are either in construction or not yet started.
Yes, but those are both copyright sources which we don't have permission to use. It needs a survey. And I was also thinking of checking the area right over to Addenbrookes.
Understood. I was not aware that planning permission maps posed a copyright problem but I take your word for it.
If there's anything useful that I can do to contribute please let me know.
Google maps are also copyright and we do not have permission to use those either.
If you are in the area then the best way to update the map is to walk/cycle and record the gps traces.
Indeed *everything* found online is copyright, whether it says so or not, so tracing from any source is only allowed when explicit permission is available. Planning applications are often derived from an OS base in the first place (not this on, I think though) so the provider may not be in a positon to give permission - they would have a license from OS to use the data themselves, of course.
OK, I did a survey yesterday, but it would appear someone beat me to most of it. Just a few minor additions and corrections were needed.
