Building Feature Type

The Building Feature Type is a building geometry which represents a single building footprint. This geometry consists of adjoining building parts which have been determined to be part of the same building. When contained in a Land Use Site, adjoining building parts are represented by a single feature.

The Building Feature Type was added to the OS NGD in September 2023 and it will be enhanced with additional attribution over time; these enhancements will be available through the release of new data schema versions for the feature type.
