OS MasterMap Imagery Layer
Aerial imagery for analysis, validation, and CV pipelines - licensed, not scraped.
// WHAT'S IN IT
Inside the dataset
OS MasterMap Imagery Layer is a national mosaic of aerial imagery, licensed for analytical, derivative and operational use. Resolution varies by area - typically 25cm in urban areas, 50cm rural - captured on regular flying programmes.
Licensing is stricter than vector products because of capture cost, but partner-route licensing (which is what we offer) gives you clear permissions for ML training, derivative analytics and downstream productisation.
Key features

// COVERAGE & LICENSING
Licensed to fit, not bloat.
Every licence is sized to your actual usage. We'll always recommend the smallest coverage tier that solves your problem - and scale up as you do.
Single site
A specific site or property - typical for small consultancies and one-off projects.
Regional
A council area, county, region or custom polygon - typical for LAs, utilities and dev firms.
National (GB)
Full GB coverage - for prop-tech, insurance, multi-region utilities and national operators.
Bespoke
Custom AOI, mixed cadence, multi-tenant or co-built licence. We scope under NDA.

All vector datasets ship with stable identifiers (TOID/OSID/UPRN) suitable for change-aware joining. Raster datasets ship with full georeferencing metadata. We can supply schema documentation, sample files and ETL guidance on request.
// FAQ
Common questions
Can we use this to train ML models?
Yes - derivative and ML-training use is permitted under partner licensing terms; we will scope these explicitly in your contract.
What resolution will we get?
Typically 25cm urban / 50cm rural. We can confirm exact resolution for your AOI before licensing.
How recent is the imagery?
Capture is on a rolling re-fly programme; recency varies by region - usually 1–3 years.
Can you host it as tiles?
Yes - we can serve as PMTiles from R2 or via a tile API alongside the original GeoTIFF supply.
