I have not seen any legal downloads of OS maps .
The OS maps for computer use are expensive .
Memory Map.

I did all my own planning permissions for our barn conversion and garages. I was a bit cheeky and used the maps from buying the property (in the land title deeds and bits). I scanned them, scaled them and then added my drawings. Could you find something in your house buying bits and pieces?

streetmap.co.uk provides the 4 inches to the mile OS maps, I suppose though that you are looking for even larger scale.

what scale do I need for planning applications etc?

i recently had to get a 1:2500 sitemap for planning application, best price i found was £26.09p from . aboveandbeyond.co.uk

OS are very funny about people using their maps, they protect them well and charge a lot for them (i suppose it's fair really they cost a lot to make and maintain)

Can you go to your local library and borrow one, or colour photocopy the relevant pages?

Spikey_2 · 4 April 2008 at 5:34PM

do they have them at the library?

didn't think they did....
