3D Buildings for the Sedbergh Civil Parish area.   Heights are obtained using Environment Agency LiDAR where available at a horizontal resolution of better than 1m.  

Perfect for pre-planning and simple low-cost context visualisation purposes.   This data uses building footprints extracted from the Ordnance Survey OpenMap product, we have added complex landmark models to create a fantastic 3D building basemap.

Using the OS OpenMap building footprints provides a horizontal accuracy of approximately 1m though the product has a claimed use scale of between 1:3,000 to 1:20,000. We height the footprints using the UK Environment Agency LiDAR data. In general, the 1m LiDAR or better has been used where possible, for all vertical data used the vertical accuracy is better than ±15cm (0.15m).

Unlike other similar data products, this data product uses the maximum height for a building derived from the LiDAR, as after much deliberation and comparison with real world data, it was found that the maximum derived height was a more accurate representation, mean height more often than not would provide only the height to the base of the roof (potentially due to the start of slope to the top).

Where possible, landmarks are replaced by complex open source 3D models created in Sketchup or similar.
