Brighton and Hove is a city in East Sussex, England, United Kingdom at latitude 50°50′43.08″ North, longitude 0°07′50.16″ West.

OSM Coverage

This map includes the City of Brighton and Hove and is defined in OSM as relation 114085

The natural boundaries of this conurbation are the sea to the South, the South Downs to the East (to Falmer Rd, and including Woodingdean), the South Downs to the North (the A27 effectively), and River Adur on the West. The original northern boundary was south of Patcham but was extended after World War I to prevent pollution to the water table from shack dwellings.

An area of the city centre has all the building outlines drawn in. Clearly this can be expanded. There's also rich POI data which has been input during the various waves of mapping parties. This will require some maintenance. See something out-of-date? Edit the map!

Posthoc stats for BN district 11 Nov 2020

The excellent 'Posthoc' tool shows where Royal Mail says postboxes are. We are trying to reach 100% in all BN regions

Houses

A 10k scan is one of the scanned old maps that National Library of Scotland have allowed us to use. In iD you can add a custom layer with https://geo.nls.uk/mapdata3/os/britain10knatgrid/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png In JOSM you can add tms:https://geo.nls.uk/mapdata3/os/britain10knatgrid/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png

The map appears to align very well. As with much of the UK, we still live in old houses and add extensions. Flip between this and Bing aerial imagery to look for new extensions and developments. You will need to realign the Bing aerial imagery slightly.

Building heights are very sparsely populated. OSMBuildings provide a view with extruded buildings to show progress https://osmbuildings.org/?lat=50.82069&lon=-0.13626&zoom=17.0&tilt=30

Parks

The City's parks are mapped, but there is always opportunity to add fine detail.

Cycle Routes:

Brighton has a few cycle lanes & tracks, all of which have relations.

Relation Ref Name Description
relation 1950688 NCN 2 National Cycle Network 2

South Coast Cycle Route

 Runs besides the A259 on a cycle track. Along the main seafront part of the A259 main carriageway has been temporally converted to a cycle lane as a response to COVID-19. This is due to be extended in 21/22 and likely to be rebuilt permanently in 23/24. B&HCC aspiration is NCN2 to be a high quality segregated route across its entire length (in B&HCC).
relation 11507779 NCN 20 National Cycle Network 20

London - Brighton

 Follows the A23 from the City boundary all the way to the A259 where it meets the NCN 2 on the seafront. North of the A27 it runs as a segregated cycle/foot track next to the A23. South of the A27 and North of the A270 it runs along the A23 on cycle lanes or on the footway although due to be made into a permanent cycle track in 2022. Between the A270 and the seafront it runs mostly on back streets not very well sign posted except a small new section in valley gardens. This section is also due to be improved in 24/25
relation 21901 NCN 83 Brighton - Devils Dyke Runs from NCN 2 at the seafront to Devils Dyke via Hove. Section between NCN 2 and Old Shoreham Road (A270) uses segregated cycle tracks, north of that it runs on residential streets, north of the urban area it runs on the old Dyke railway to the top of the dyke.
relation 21904 NCN 90 National Cycle Network 90

A temp cycle lane also continues to run from The Drive to Hangleton Road (A2038) as a result of COVID-19 measures, this is also planned to be extended to city border in 23/24 or later.
