Recently I was trying to get hold of local plan housing allocation which detail where new building is likely to be. The local authority would only give me PDFs of maps with hundreds of insets which obfuscate everything. With a proper digital format national mapping would be possible. The public could easily find out where new developments are going, something that is very hard to do now.
