Pricing information

Prices are set by individual Ordnance Survey Mapping and Data Centres rather than Ordnance Survey, so it may be worthwhile shopping around for the best deals. They can provide their price list on request.

2. Plan, Design and Build (PDB) Licensed Use End-user Licence (PDF 279 Kb) (for DXF product format)
The licence for you is dependent upon your application/use of OS Sitemap data. The terms of each licence are very different and end-users need to decide which licence is most appropriate for them.
The Internal Business Use (IBU) Licence grants the customer a number of rights to use Ordnance Survey data products internally solely and explicitly for the administration and operation of their business.
The Plan, Design and Build Licence is aimed at project managers and end-users who are undertaking projects in the land and property market. This licence is project specific but includes terms and conditions for sharing the data with other project participants.
