Why are areas on the maps different from figures provided on other Defra maps?
Firstly the RLR maps are capturing the total field size. Secondly, the maps are being produced from more recent Ordnance Survey digital mapping data which enables more accurate area measurements to be made than before. If you have an ERDP agreement it may be affected as a result. The RLR map is the definitive map and should be used for future dealings with RPA, Natural England and Defra. 24. The boundary of a field is incorrect and the correct boundary is not shown on the map. Although recent Ordnance Survey mapping is being used it is not possible for it to be totally up to date with all changes on the ground as they are made. Changes such as new roads or housing may be missing. In this case you should mark the correct boundary on the map as clearly as possible, and if possible provide some measurements to assist us with recording the exact position of the boundary.
