[Talk-GB] Messed up buildings in Preston

[Andy Allan]

Hi All,

I noticed some weirdness when doing some openstreetmap-carto work.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.763681&lon=-2.723075&zoom=18&layers=M

Notice a few things:

* Overlapping buildings (e.g. to the south of the junction)
* Strange triangular partial-buildings
* Incredibly thin buildings (e.g. to the north of the junction)
* Unlikely shapes of buildings (e.g. to the east)

Move a bit further north:

Now I don't know the area, but I'll bet they don't build
higgledy-piggledy like that in Preston.

A brief look suggests this changeset:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5994643

and the tags on the buildings suggest it's an import:

source = Auto_OS_OpenData_StreetView

So does anyone want to try fixing, redoing or reverting this, er, stuff?

And does anyone know how widespread such "Auto_OS_OpenData_StreetView"
damage is around the country? Taginfo suggests there's 45 598
 cases - hopefully not all this bad?

Cheers,
Andy
