This page lists known current live data issues in relation to the OS National Geographic Database (NGD) themes, collections and feature types.

As and when we resolve a known data issue, we will move it to the page. To report an issue that's not currently listed on these pages, please use the .

Any live interruptions to the availability of OS NGD API – Features and OS NGD API – Tiles will be documented on the .

Generic OS NGD current known data issues

The generic data issue in the table below impacts multiple OS NGD themes:

Data Issue Name
Data Issue Description
Data Issue Identification Date

Very small number of features not being given the correct 'End of Life' change type

There are 319 features (out of 600+ million) which reside within the 'features' collections (i.e. any OS NGD collection which has a name of 'OS NGD XXX Features', for example, OS NGD Transport Features) that have not been given the correct 'End of Life' change type. This means that these features still reside within the supply but should be deleted.

OS NGD Address Theme current known data issues

Data Issue Name
Data Issue Description
Data Issue Identification Date

Incorrect change type for addresses moving between feature types

In a very small number of cases, when an address moves between feature types, such as moving from Pre-Build Address to Built Address, the change type given is incorrect.

The address 'leaving' the Pre-Build Address Feature Type is correctly marked 'Moved To', but when it enters the Built Address Feature Type, it is incorrectly marked as 'New' rather than 'Moved From'.

This issue impacts address feature types in both data schema versions (i.e. data schema versions 1.0 and 2.0).

Your Change-Only Update (COU) processing will still work correctly, and your data holdings will be complete, but the address will have been incorrectly marked as 'New'.

OS NGD Administrative and Statistical Units Theme current known data issues

Data Issue Name
Data Issue Description
Data Issue Identification Date

Three missing parishes from the Parish Or Community Feature Type

The Margaret March, Tollard Royal and Marlow Bottom Civil Parish (CP) within the Parish Or Community Feature Type (data schema version 1.0) are missing from the current (May 2025) release of data.

This issue is currently being investigated and we are working to fix it for a future release.

July 2024

Historic European Region Feature Type

This feature type (data schema version 1.0) contains updates made to the boundaries post 01 April 2021 (when the feature type was frozen in the Boundary-Line product). This means that there will be differences between the boundaries accessed via our OS OpenData pages and those accessed via OS NGD.

08/07/2024

OS NGD Buildings Theme current known data issues

Data Issue Name
Data Issue Description
Data Issue Identification Date

Incorrect building height values for some multi-storey properties with a single storey annexe

Some residential two-storey properties with a large adjoining single storey are returning as a single storey when created using machine learning (due to incorrect building height values), for example, two-storey houses with attached garages or large rear extensions.

TBC

Minor confusion between roofs of similar appearance

When capturing roof type data through our aerial capture program, there can be some confusion between buildings with glass roofs or an evacuated tube collector and those with solar panels present. As a result, buildings with glass roofs may be incorrectly attributed with solar panel presence.

This is something we aim to address in future iterations of roof type data for the Building Feature Type.

27/03/2025

Inconsistent caravan roof shape

Large static caravans will have inconsistent roof shapes due to the shallow-pitched nature of their roofs, making it difficult to ascertain true shape.

27/03/2025

Additional in-scope buildings included in the Number of Floors data

Some notable non-residential and non-office buildings that meet the scope will be included (for example, several cathedrals and arenas) and will have values for the Number of Floors attributes.

25/09/2024

Some in-scope residential buildings are excluded from the Number of Floors data

Some in-scope residential buildings have no values for the Number of Floors attributes (for example, new builds, and buildings failing height validation rules).

25/09/2024

Some apartment block buildings are excluded from the Number of Floors data

Apartment blocks that have their address geometry situated in the stairwell of the building and have their building geometry segregated due to the Land Use Site Feature Type will not get values for the Number of Floors attributes.

Poor linking between Crowd Sourced Name Point features and other OS NGD features

We are actively improving the linking between Crowd Sourced Name Point features (data schema version 1.0) and other OS NGD features, so some updates are expected; these updates will be delivered through standard change-only updates (COUs).

Data Issue Name
Data Issue Description
Data Issue Identification Date

Nullified Access Purpose attribute for certain Site Access Location features

Some key public sites have refused access to surveyors and so will have their Access Purpose attribute nullified for the Site Access Location feature (data schema version 2.0 only as this attribute is not available for data schema version 1.0).

27/03/2025

OS NGD Land Use Theme current known data issues

Data Issue Name
Data Issue Description
Data Issue Identification Date

Uppercase and lowercase variations of two description values in Site Feature Type data schema v1.2

The two affected values are:

  • Education Support Site

  • Public Waste Disposal Site

The OS NGD access services of OS NGD API – Features and OS Select+Build validate against the data schema, meaning both versions of the description values must be retained to facilitate filtering.

The lowercase values (i.e. Education Support site and Public Waste Disposal site) should be used to filter and retrieve historical features (before 25/09/24), while the uppercase values (i.e. Education Support Site and Public Waste Disposal Site) should be used for records after this date.

This issue only affects data schema version 1.2 of Site; data schema v2.0 of Site was launched with the casing standards consistently applied.

Data Issue Identification Date

Temporal differences to data currency for bridge interactions

Bridges in the OS NGD Structure Features Collection are updated daily, whereas networks in the OS NGD Transport Network Collection and the OS NGD Water Network Collection are updated monthly and quarterly, respectively.

25/09/2024

Completeness for bridge interactions

On rare occasions where Network Over and Network Under attribution cannot be identified (i.e. disused bridges or viaducts over dry valleys) for Compound Structure Feature Type features (data schema version 2.0), the attributes will not be populated (i.e. will be ‘null’).

25/09/2024

Overlapping of stacked bridges

Where bridges cross one other, it can be difficult to identify the correct networks running over and / or under each bridge. This impacts Compound Structure Feature Type features (data schema version 2.0).

25/09/2024

Mersey Railway Tunnels and Westferry Circus Tunnel missing

The Mersey Railway Tunnels and Westferry Circus Tunnel are not included in the initial release of data schema v2.0 of the Compound Structure Feature Type.

TBC

Some underground Structure features are missing from the Habitat Coverage cross reference table

Three underground Structure features with an OS Land Cover Tier B attribute of ‘Coniferous Trees’, ‘Non-Coniferous Trees’, ‘Scattered Coniferous Trees’ or ‘Scattered Non-Coniferous Trees’ are missing from the corresponding Habitat Coverage Reference cross reference table. This issue impacts the Land Feature Type.

15/04/2024

Overlapping Field Boundary

features exist

Approximately 20 000 Field Boundary Feature Type features (data schema version 1.0) are overlapping. This issue is currently being investigated.

27/03/2024

Field Boundary data quality

At the time of launch of the Field Boundary Feature Type (March 2024; data schema version 1.0), areas of Great Britain were still to be quality checked and will be improved as part of OS’s continuous quality review programme when updated imagery is available. Most of the known data quality errors are either in Moorland areas or where imagery was captured earlier in the year and vegetated features are ‘leaf-off’. The downloadable file below (last updated in August 2024) contains the status of each 10km² area relating to the quality of the Field Boundary feature classification.

Rail Network referencing errors

1 Railway Link feature (data schema version 1.0; OSID of e14ea5cf-0d9c-4417-884d-16604d5b3208) is not connected to a Railway Node feature (data schema version 1.0) at one or both ends, and 100 Railway Node features (data schema version 1.0) are not coincident with the start or end of the Railway Link features (data schema version 1.0) that reference them. This issue is currently being investigated.

01/03/2025

Road Links with unexpected pavement update dates

64 Road Link features (data schema versions 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0) with an incorrect Presence of Pavement Update Date attribute date value in the future (2999). The update date should reflect when the attribute was last updated, so it should never be a future date. This issue is currently being investigated.

Mismatches between Road Link Directionality attribution and Average Speed attribution

There are 1 652 Road Link features (data schema versions 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0) where the Directionality attribution of the Road Link and the attribution describing average speeds are not in sympathy (for example, the Road Link is in Both Directions, but average speed attribution is only available for one of the directions). Some instances of this are a result of the Road Network being updated monthly and speed information being updated six-monthly; however, the remaining instances where this does not apply are being investigated.

Unexpected references for Street features in the Highway Dedication Network Reference cross reference table

Where the Highway Dedication Network Reference cross reference table (used by Highway Dedication features, data schema v1.0) references a Street feature (data schema version 1.0), the Network Reference ID attribute is populated with an OSID rather than a USRN as is expected for Street features. This issue is currently being investigated.

Invalid geometries in Waterbody Catchment and River Basin District Catchment features

Some polygons for Waterbody Catchment and River Basin District Catchment features (data schema version 1.0) have invalid geometries in the form of self-intersections, holes, and gaps. Instances of self-intersection are primarily due to the gridded digital terrain model (DTM) used to generate the catchment data provided by the third-party data from authoritative bodies.
