OS MasterMap Sites Layer

OS MasterMap® Sites Layer is a nationally maintained view of the detailed extents of important locations, such as airports, schools, hospitals, utility and infrastructure sites and more.

Overview

OS MasterMap Sites Layer

OS MasterMap Sites Layer shows what people see in the real world, where the common view of something (such as a school) is not the address, the main building or the playing fields, but is the site as a whole.

Accurate risk analysis

OS MasterMap Sites Layer gives you an understanding of the wider geographic perspective. For example, how assets interact with specific types of sites (for example, schools).

Find relevant access points

Identify where the most appropriate access points into a site are, enabling more detailed planning for emergency situations.

Enhanced analytics

OS MasterMap Sites Layer routing points enable more efficient responses and more effective deployment of resources.
