Loading building outlines in an area where the roads are a "mess" seems
like a really bad idea. It just makes it even harder to sort things out.
Loading the OS StreetView building outlines which are hugely simplified
seems like an even worse idea. This tool doesn't seem to be production
ready so probably the wiki page should say not to use it for production
uploads.

If Bing alignment is poor and you have no good traces you can always use an
OS layer to align it.
