Hi, the problem with that is it doesn't make clear that the Public Right of Way (PRoW) starts at the Unclassified Road, rather than at the 'Service road' which could be misconstrued by someone as thinking that the 'service road' is private property, when in actual fact the PRoW shares the same line as the 'service road'.

Hi, I can add them back in where I've been editing. How have you added that? When I go to the edit mode, I can't actually see your 'residential area' below the residential gardens, only when I 'query' the area in the viewing mode can I see it there. Cheers, Andy.

To be honest, when I started doing this I was following the approach used by blackadder (@blackadder) in Sutton Coldfield, which had been praised by other users. The effective output is to see a land parcel, similar to that which is displayed on the highest detail of OS MasterMap, by utilising local knowledge and OSM Cadastral information. You are right in that the building sits 'on' the garden, but the garden itself is utilised more as a 'delineating feature' for the association of the land to the property. Clearly, there are going to be no pansies underneath the properties.

I hear what you are saying, but you are also adding another level of complexity and detail, and lest us not forget, we cannot know what the composition of every boundary is anyway, so its never going to be a perfect exercise.

A residential garden is a polygon, and it can have the property of "barrier: fence".
