Industry First: Landmark introduces Ordnance Survey’s Building Height Attribute data and 3D data bundle

Launched as part of a new 3D Data Bundle, which combines OS MasterMap detail mapping, OS Terrain 5 height data with the OS Building Height Attribute information, it provides a full 3D representation of both the natural and built topography of a site.   The 3D Data Bundle is ideal for developers, planners, surveyors and architects that want to review accurate site data as part of the survey and due-diligence process.   The model is also suitable for printing to 3D printers.

Carole Ankers, Product Development Director, said: “We are excited to introduce the 3D Height data bundle to the market, which incorporates OS Building Height Attribute data. Based on new and existing Ordnance Survey datasets, this provides models and data to help visualise the landscape and topography of a site for a range of applications, including line of sight planning, right to light, fly-through sequences, planning applications and to support overall development projects. It can also be used for urban planning and signal propagation analysis.”

The new 3D Data Bundle removes the need to source and combine individual datasets in order to produce 3D models.  Users can quickly access a visualisation via PDF or DWG, and the data can be easily incorporated into existing CAD or GIS applications for further detailed analysis.  

Concludes Carole Ankers: “Using our data expertise, we have devised a bundle that will help save clients’ time and money and offers a valuable 3D visualisation product.  Giving our clients easy access enables them to start designs with accurate 3D data rather than speculating before surveys, as well as give them the ability to generate streetscapes and landscaping models without needing to overlay other products.”

Promap Labs has evolved into Landmark Labs

Preview new and existing datasets from Landmark's extensive library of over 400 datasets

Since its launch Promap Labs has attracted over 3,000 visitors and the feedback that you supplied has shaped how trial datasets could be used in future Landmark products.

The first dataset to feature on the newly rebranded Landmark Labs is UKLand from The GeoInformation Group. This identifies land use and cover throughout the UK, including the location and extent of 27 different land use and land cover classes. A preview sample covering the Reading area is available now for you to trial.

With over 400 datasets available from Landmark Information Group and over four million data features updated every month, Landmark Labs offers the industry an insight into the extensive library that helps support a range of needs; from planning application or conveyancing due diligence, to accessing risk-based land reports, through to identifying developable land opportunities in-line with the government’s current focus on increasing house building across the UK.

Refreshed datasets and content will be added to Landmark Labs on a regular basis, making it an ideal forum for the industry to visit frequently to preview or trial new or lesser-known datasets.
