Building Heights
Get the measure of your world
Building Heights is a value-added, height attribute database that integrates with Ordnance Survey MasterMap and other building outline datasets. The height information is derived from the most current LiDAR surveys, high-resolution aerial photography (using very accurate photogrammetric techniques) or other height data sources.
Building Heights provides comprehensive height information and a unique ID of every individual building block. The data is supplied as three values for each building; ground height above sea level, top of the building above sea level and the actual building height.
"Building Heights helps us to efficiently and effectively plan how proposed buildings will look and fit into their surroundings. Gathering this information would prove to be a highly resource intensive and expensive task for the council to undertake on their own." Nick Tringham, GIS Manager, Planning Services, Birmingham City Council.
