ROS - Cadastral Parcels - DATASET

INSPIRE Cadastral Parcels is a dataset maintained and produced by the Registers of Scotland to comply with the INSPIRE Directive. It is a sub-set of the Cadastral Map and contains the location of ownership polygons at ground level in Scotland. The polygons contained within the dataset are shapes that show the position and indicative extent of ownership of the earth’s surface for each registered property. Each cadastral parcel has a unique identifier called the inspire id that relates to a registered title on Scotland’s Land Register. The extent of rights and land contained within a title registered in the land register cannot be established from the cadastral parcel. For more detailed information on land and property data in Scotland you can search free at https://scotlis.ros.gov.uk/.

Explanation

Selection Criteria

Cadastral Parcels- It contains the locations of ownership polygons at ground level in Scotland and is a sub-set of the Cadastral Map

Cadastral Zoning, Boundaries and Basic Property Units do not exist in Scotland.

Geographic Coverage

Cadastral Gaps- All land and property can be registered, however Scotland currently operates two land registers. Only property registered in the Land Register is available in the cadastral parcels dataset.

Cadastral Overlaps- Are a valid part of Scotland’s current data model. These have been removed where possible (e.g. flatted property, different legal tenements).

Availability of data- It contains the locations of ownership polygons at ground level in Scotland and is a sub-set of the Cadastral Map

Temporal aspects

Historic data- Current view of registered titles in the Land Register

Lifecycle rules- Individual Parcel- represents the indicative ownership at earth’s surface. Parcels are regenerated at each update.

Quality

Topological gaps- No topological gaps

Topological overlaps- No topological overlaps (there should be no duplicated polygons within the dataset)

Edge matching- Not applicable

Positional accuracy:- Cadastral Parcel extents are captured relative to Ordnance Survey large scale mapping (LandLine / MasterMap). The OS large scale mapping is scaled at 1:1,250 in urban areas, 1:2,500 in semi-rural and 1:10,000 in rural locations.

Rate of missing items:- 32% Missing items where ownership at ground level cannot be established or where no ownership polygons can be identified from the title.
