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?

Although, I can see in osm.org/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.

Note that Withernwick Wind Farm and Extension are already defined in osm.org/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 :)

AFAIK the terrace is there for doing rough plotting of all the houses in one go. I don't think you can combine it with houses.

Hi U.C., a building-part is an additional area within the original building=house perimeter (e.g. 1 house footprint + 2 * parts for a gabled roof + a flat roof extension)....houses on The Avenue are no longer rendering. I'm guessing you were trying it out for 3D rendering.

with respect, a 'terrace' is a block of houses, not each single house within a terrace...they are just a 'house' osm.wiki/Tag:building%3Dterrace

I've updated the tag from 'shop' to 'disused:shop' to mark it as closed

Hi,

It's great that you are adding buildings. To get maximum value, after you click 'edit' you can turn on the OSMUK Cadastral Parcels layer. This will enable you to align the aerial photos (the MS AI buildings are slightly off) and also to see where semi-detached and terraced houses can be split.

Happy mapping! Regards, Jez

Well done. I was just going in to do this one. I believe there is still a school hours time restriction on entering Grantham from Ditchling. I will go and look at the sign.

Yeah, it was lack of tags in Vespucci whilst I was on the spot, I was going to change them when I got home.....and then forgot. :( Will do it now
