Thanks for reversing this.

Any objection to me moving the pub's tags from the building to the property boundary? It's reasonably clear where that is from Bing aerial imagery and the Land Registry polygons. That should remove the tedious interference with the building polygon.

I have ...
22023-07-23 19:56TomH Personally I generally prefer to keep business tags on the building. I'm not sure how accurate the building location is now - it doesn't match the bing imagery but that might be the imagery.

Hi Tom. I have reverted this for now as it needs to be a node for Overpass access when looking for amenity:pubs. If there is a way around this then I agree it looks cleaner to be merged but when accessing the data through API its better to be a node. I've had discussions with other editors and ...
22023-07-22 10:02TomH Firstly that's completely untrue as overpass is perfectly capable of searching for ways and secondly we don't downgrade our data just to help some third party tool - we fix the tool instead!
32023-07-22 10:04TomH Here is overpass finding ways for amenity=pub just fine: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1xPL

Hi Tom. I only speak from it being told to me from other more experienced editors. Now that you have provided a way around it I will agree they should be merged. Thank you. Although both are listed on the Wiki as acceptable, a preference should be outlined for consistency when adding these in the fu...

Thanks for catching this and updating it. As the original mapper put "NOT OPEN TO PUBLIC" in almost every tag presented by iD, maybe it should be access=private?
22023-06-07 09:04TomH I was in correspondence with the owner who was complaining that search wasn't finding him which seems a bit at odds with the idea of it being private, as does the whole leisure=park thing...

It would probably be better if somebody local could investigate what the real story is on the ground ...

Thanks. I just commented on their most recent changeset to suggest that place=farm might be better than leisure=park.

They're private, but they probably still want deliveries etc., so I can see why they want a searchable POI.

It probably doesn't help them that TN14 7SF was only assig...
42023-06-07 09:23TomH Yes that was what started it - them complaining to Royal Mail and RM telling them to complain to map operators about not updating with new post codes.

Dear All, we are a live farm, with deliveries, and people attempting to find us. We purchased a customised postcode from the Royal Mail and we are now trying to update the mapping system. If somone can help us replace the tag: park (placed by mistake) with the tag: Farm, we would be very grateful. ...

Hello Tom,
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/237905777
what's the meaning of PDF_layer ?
Regards,
Marc
22019-04-10 08:04TomH No idea how that happened - it was originally just layer. I've change it back now.

It's a bit bogus really - it was done because a road goes through the building (or more likely under a canopy) which I would probably have done with -1 on the road but it doesn't really matter.
