Hi! I've just been revising the Triton Knoll mapping and I just spotted these landuse=construction areas. I think the source you used for these changes may not have been compatible with the OpenStreetMap license, as it was derived from OS maps (and didn't have any other licensing details).

As the construction of this cable has now finished anyway, I've removed these construction areas, and I have independently mapped the actual cable using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. So there's no remaining issue here - I just wanted to give you a heads-up.

Cheers,

Hi,

This change appears to incorrectly change several sections of railway line to be a tunnel, as well as deleting several railway platforms and sections of power infrastructure. I have reverted these changes.

Please let me know if you are having any problems using the openstreetmap editor.

Thanks! I've sorted that now, although there are probably also changes at the other end where there's a housing development.

Hi Brian,

Thanks - can you give me a link to the line in question as this changeset touched a few? I can take a look into it.

I added the reservoir tags and changed it to represent the fenced perimeter.

I've improved the mapping now. Note that the reservoir itself is likely larger than the features visible on the surface.

Oops, sorry, my mistake - not sure why I ended up removing those but I think I meant to restore them.

Those photos were helpful, I've hopefully restored the missing lines and made a few more tweaks. Thanks!

(Just FYI it's on ESRI but not ESRI Clarity, for whatever reasons)

I can see a solar farm visible in this location on ESRI imagery - I don't tag these things without aerial imagery - and it's also listed here http://www.sig-solar.com/reference/mendennick-solar-farm/

From the drone video on that page it looks like it might be cunningly concealed from the road behind a sizeable hedge?

You're correct that it isn't on Bing - that must have been my mistake in the sources.

If you want to check the locations of the turbines you can use the Sentinel-1 radar imagery I host here: https://sar.russss.dev/about.html

Yeah go ahead - probably my error.

Please see my comments on osm.org/changeset/71255822 regarding natural=heath.

I don't believe the name Craddock Moor was tagged here at all prior to my changes.

I tagged the area based on OS OpenData Street View, which does not provide an exact area but does label this broad area as Craddock Moor. Feel free to split this area if you believe it's too broad.

Hi,

This was a while ago but I was not systematically retagging any existing landuse as heath in these changesets.

I was adding new landuse areas and in some cases I was rationalising the landuse boundaries based on aerial photography. Unfortunately this doesn't come across especially well in the changeset.

In the case of Fore Down specifically, it was tagged as leisure=common which is now a deprecated tag and no longer rendered by the default OSM style. We discussed this on talk-gb and we're now using designation=common for areas which are legally commons - more info here:

osm.wiki/Tag:designation%3Dcommon

I believe I tagged it as heath because there was a nearby moorland area of similar appearance tagged as heath.

Sorry if this caused any issues, but these areas should be relatively easy to subdivide into smaller landuse areas if necessary. I will not be mapping around this area any more.

Looks it, yes. I must have missed that one, feel free to update it!

Hi Lilla,

This is not an automated retagging process, so no special permission is needed.

The changes I've been making are in line with the currently accepted usage of the power=plant and generator tags (which were approved through the tag proposal system in 2013).

We're currently discussing a project for tagging solar in the UK on the talk-gb mailing list if you have any questions.

I just found that one - thanks! Should all show up on openinframap.org shortly.

It's on the Bing imagery!

Cheers,

Russ

Hi,

To my knowledge they're all still in use for distribution/pressure regulation although the majority (if not all) the gasholders are decommissioned.

The pipeline=substation tag is a weird one because it talks about "long-distance pipelines". I wouldn't object to applying it but I'm not sure it really fits.

I'm showing industrial=oil/gas landuses on openinframap.org now because it's interesting to show all involved sites rather than just those which are pipeline=specific.

My sources for names are mostly planning permission/press releases/local news articles, and very occasionally educated guesses. Not many people go out of their way to survey these places.

The "grid" thing is somewhat of a stylistic choice, I guess. "Grid" is the type of substation, rather than the name of it. It appears here that there's another (possibly disused) substation right next door, which I will guess is/was called Stanton Primary. Given that they share a site, the overall site would be Stanton Substation.

Annoyingly for some reason the use of this terminology varies across the UK (in the west of England this would be "Stanton BSP"...) and I have a slight preference towards avoiding the regional jargon when naming things. I am happy to defer to the surveyed ground truth, though.

More of my thoughts about this, and some coverage of the grid/primary terminology, can be found here: osm.wiki/WikiProject_Power_networks/Great_Britain

It appears to be temporarily closed for the Tideway works (that'll be at least for 3-4 years I'd expect). I didn't survey the dogleg of Kirtling Street to the east so I can't confirm whether it still links up to the path/William Henry Walk there, but given the extent of the Tideway works I have a suspicion that link is probably closed too.

Ideally it could do with going back to survey more thoroughly. There's also a bit of thames path on the eastern end of the Riverside development which appears to no longer exist.

I'll add notes for this.
