OS MasterMap Sites Layer

OS MasterMap Sites Layer provides a nationally maintained view of the detailed extents of important locations such as airports, schools, hospitals, utility and infrastructure sites, and more. The points of access and routing points, to navigate in and out of the sites, are also provided.
This product is updated every six months in April and October.
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.
OS MasterMap Sites Layer gives you an understanding of the wider geographic perspective, such as how assets interact with specific types of sites (for example, schools).
Identify where the most appropriate access points into a site are, enabling more detailed planning for emergency situations.
OS MasterMap Sites Layer routing points enable more efficient responses and more effective deployment of resources.
The OS MasterMap Sites Layer groups features into seven themes: Air transport, Education, Medical care, Rail transport, Road transport, Water transport, and Utility or industrial. Each feature is available as three feature types: Functional Site, Access Point and Routing Point.
OS MasterMap Sites Layer can help you answer questions like ‘How close is this school to something?’ or ‘What would be affected in the event of an emergency?’.
