What scale of OS map to see individual houses

littlerock

I need to look at some OS maps of our area to trace where the back gardens lie behind individual houses locally. I have found the OS maps on line (at National Library of Scotland) but cannot find any which show individual properties and plots along the roads. Not even on 1:12500 scale. Can anyone help?

go here put your postcode in, sign up ( using gobbledygook information)
you can then pre view maps of the post code at various scales 1:2500, 1:1250, 1:500

Your local library may be able to source large scale maps from a main library.

1:1250 is the ideal scale as this shows a considerable amount of detail.

As above start with local planning portal.

os maps don't necessarily have accurate boundaries on them, fences and walls etc will be shown but they don't always mean anything and they can be out a considerable amount dimension wise
