No don't get too excited it is not a full map render. Instead I have produced a very simple tiling of the Land Registry polygon data now that this is under the OGL Open Data Licence.

The data doesn't change much so we would only re-render on request or once a year. My estimate is that we'd need 35GB for tiles to zoom level 17, and 133 GB to get everything to zoom 18. Our current server is on the small side with just 512MB memory and a 100GB disk allowance. It is unsuitable for on the fly rendering and we'd need more disk space to get the level 18 zoom. A beefier server is of course possible but any bump in specs comes with an equal bump in costs so worth checking this is worthwhile before proceeding.<br></div><div><br></div></div><div>P.S. The Land Registry themselves host this data on a WMS service rather than a TMS (tile) service. This makes it possible to zoom much further in. If you want to have a look at that detail you can use their website or (temporarily) use the following URL in JOSM. Please don't use this for mapping as we don't have permission to use their WMS service</div><div><br></div><div>wms:<a href="http://inspire.landregistry.gov.uk/inspire/ows?SERVICE=WMS&FORMATS=image%2Fpng&LAYERS=inspire%3ACP.CadastralParcel&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&TRANSPARENT=true&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&INFO_FORMAT=application%2Fvnd.ogc.gml&EXCEPTIONS=XML&_OLSALT=0.789927776902914&SRS=%7Bproj%7D&BBOX=%7Bbbox%7D&WIDTH=%7Bwidth%7D&HEIGHT=%7Bheight%7D" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://inspire.landregistry.gov.uk/inspire/ows?SERVICE=WMS&FORMATS=image%2Fpng&LAYERS=inspire%3ACP.CadastralParcel&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&TRANSPARENT=true&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&INFO_FORMAT=application%2Fvnd.ogc.gml&EXCEPTIONS=XML&_OLSALT=0.789927776902914&SRS={proj}&BBOX={bbox}&WIDTH={width}&HEIGHT={height}</a></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,<br></div><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><b>Rob</b></span><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
