Collection	OS NGD Building Features
Feature Type	Building Access Location
Version	1.0 onward
Coverage	Key public buildings in Great Britain
Geometry	Point
Data Sources	Data captured by OS field surveyors.
Completeness	Access Locations will be collected for key public buildings within a subset of Land Use Sites: Hospitals Stadiums and Sports Arenas – Typically those with a capacity greater than 5 000 people Shopping Centres – Typically those with greater than 50 retail units Railway Stations Major Transport Interchanges – Typically airports, international ferry terminals, vehicular ferry terminals with a Land Use Site area greater than 1 000m² and bus / coach stations with a Land Use Site area greater than 5 000m² Conference Centres – Typically sites whose primary function is to host formal discussions/meetings and exhibitions and with a capacity greater than 500 people Concert Venues – Typically those with a capacity greater than 1 000 people
Thematic Accuracy	The classification of Access Locations is based upon ground survey collection of externally identifiable access locations.
