The OS NGD Land Use Theme contains features which are geographical representations of areas identified as having a specific purpose (such as schools, universities, and caravan parks), as well as information about access to such areas.
In comparison with OS data from our traditional Download products, the OS NGD Land Use Theme data has been enriched with additional attribution, including the following:
Geometry change metadata
A Description attribute to provide a one-word or simple phrase description of the feature
Hierarchical land use classification
OS NGD Land Use Theme data contains land use attribution that describes the human or economic activity taking place on areas of land (i.e. how areas of land are being used / their purpose). Whereas OS NGD Land Theme data contains land cover attribution that describes the physical and biological surface of the land.
The OS NGD Land Use Theme is made up of the OS NGD Land Use Features Collection, which in turn is comprised of the Site and Site Access Location Feature Types.
The Site Routing Point Feature Type which was present prior to Spring 2023 is now in an end-of-life state and is no longer populated. All Site Routing Point features have been recreated as Road Nodes as part of improvements to create a full Multi-Modal Routing Network and they are therefore now accessible via the OS NGD Transport Theme (from the OS NGD Transport Network Collection).
Two unique identifiers are provided with each feature within the OS NGD Land Use Theme:
OSID (Ordnance Survey Identifier): The primary identifier and unique key for this theme.
TOID (Topographic Identifier): An additional secondary identifier which can aid further data linking. TOIDs are an optional attribute and therefore will not always be provided with every feature.
In addition to OSIDs and TOIDs, features in this theme also have the following unique identifiers assigned to them: Site features have primaryuprn (Primary Unique Property Reference Number) and Site Access Location features have siteid (Site Identifier), routingpointid (Routing Point Identifier), and roadnodeid (Road Node Identifier). Definitions for these additional unique identifiers are available on the two feature type pages for this theme.
A land use site is a geographic representation of an area that can be identified as being used for a particular purpose, for example, a school, shopping centre, or private residence. These are captured by OS primarily through manual or automated interpretation from aerial imagery. Sites seek to define the extent of the activity, and while this may be similar to or the same as the ownership information provided by HM Land Registry (HMLR) or Registers of Scotland (RoS), it should not be regarded as representing ownership. Sites do not indicate the definitive or legal extent, but rather the extent of usage or function. Often, the line of a legal boundary will coincide with a physical feature, such as a wall or a fence, but it is important to remember that the legal boundary is not the same as the physical feature.
The OS NGD Land Use Features Collection gives you access to the most current and comprehensive land use sites and site access data captured by Ordnance Survey.
A land use site is a geographic representation of an area that can be identified as being used for a particular purpose, for example, a school, shopping centre, or private residence. It seeks to define the extent of the activity, and while this may be similar to or the same as the ownership information provided by HM Land Registry (HMLR) or Registers of Scotland (RoS), it should not be regarded as representing legal extents or ownership.
The OS NGD Land Use Features Collection allows you to:
Ensure your land use data is always completely up to date, with up to daily updates.
Access all our land use sites and access locations data from one place.
Visualise and analyse data based on the extent of areas with different types of land use, including amongst others, residential, education, greenspaces, hospitals, and transport hubs.
Quickly interpret the land use which is happening at a given site, using the description or land use attribute value (such as private residential, primary school, golf course).
Analyse the number and location of sites with a given land use across areas or regions (such as locating all the schools in a county).
Understand the location of access points into major sites (such as train stations, schools, and public parks) and how these sites are accessed from the road network.
Up to daily updates to data.
Plug and play – the data is simple and quick to implement as you don't need to pre-process it before you use it.
Rich attribution ensures the data is straightforward to navigate and query.
Persistent unique identifiers with lifecycle information.
Includes Sites for a wide range of land use types all in one dataset.
Consistent classifications.
Name attribution for non-residential sites (if known).
Millions of new sites, including sites representing areas with residential land use.
Further sites for non-residential land use to be added over time.
Site access location and routing points with links to OS NGD transport networks.

This page details upcoming data that will be provided for the Site Feature Type in the OS NGD from the end of September 2024 to give you early insight. Data schema version 2.0 for this feature type is currently not available through the live access services. The information on this page is as accurate as possible, but is subject to change before launch.
Polygon feature which represents the recognisable extent of certain types of function or activity. Examples include a caravan site, a university, and a railway centre.
