Ordnance Survey

Volume 463: debated on Monday 3 September 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what the Ordnance Survey’s targets are for use of 15cm high-resolution pictometry oblique imagery across England. (152820)

Ordnance Survey has a commercial agreement with BLOM Aerofilms Limited to act as an authorised reseller of Pictometry data of Great Britain.

It is a matter for BLOM Aerofilms Ltd. to determine for which areas of England coverage of the product is made available, based on customer demand, and acquisition of the data, and on other commercial considerations. It is for customers of the product to determine uses within their businesses. Ordnance Survey does not use Pictometry within its own business processes.
