Abstract
A LEAFLET on the revision of areas of twenty-five inch plans, issued by the Ordnance Survey, notes that revision is far behind the standard formerly achieved. The hiatus due to the War meant a gap that would not have been easy to bridge even if other difficulties had not supervened. Road and housing development have led to abnormally quick changes within the last twelve years. But most serious of all has been the effect of the call for public economy. Since 1928, revision has, perforce, been limited to those areas in which development and changes have reached a certain standard. This standard is defined as the addition of 200 houses or equivalent area of factory, road or other development in a six-inch quarter sheet. This principle means the abandonment of the revision of any county as a unit, which in former days was done every twenty years. It has much reduced the areas scheduled annually for revision.
