I think this information is quite interesting (for making 3D Models),
in other regions people are investing a lot of work to survey these
(and to split the buildings accordingly). Strange you decided to not
use this information. Maybe it wasn't precise or current enough?

tracing atomic areas is also something we are doing in some regions
manually. IMHO you are destroying a lot of interesting information by
unifying these. The actual landuse is much less interesting than the
size and layout of the areas/plots. Its the layout that tells the
structure, and often also history, of the rural areas. Wouldn't do
this.

I guess you wanted to say: "remove the parcel"?

cheers,
