[Talk-GB] Land Registry as a source of alignment

[Russ Garrett]

This was covered a bit in these threads from last month:

The basic gist of it is that these boundaries are not necessarily
legally binding, but they should not have any appreciable offset. The
boundaries will likely have been drawn against OS MasterMap, which for
our purposes is likely pretty close to perfect.

In practice, it's probably the best source of alignment where a land
registry boundary matches a wall, building, hedgerow, or similar.

(We should probably put a bit more detail about this on the wiki somewhere.)

Cheers,

Russ
