PROMAP V2 LAUNCHES FREE INTERACTIVE VIEWABLE DATA LAYERS Landmark Information has launched interactive data layers on the brand new Promap v2, for free. As part of a significant investment in its digital mapping and data platform, the free viewable data layers provide architects with the ability to instantly view flood risk data, commercial ownership information and land use designation data on top of a mapped view. Architects can now view Flood Zone 2, Flood Zone 3 and Surface Water flooding data from the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales, covering a 500-metre area, on a mapped views. Multiple return periods are available to determine low, medium or high risk relating to surface water flooding.  This provides an early-warning-system as to whether a full Flood Risk Assessment is required. The Corporate Ownership Data provides freehold or leasehold data, owners’ name and address and the site’s title number, within a 100-metre zone on OS MasterMap, while the Land Use Designations means architects benefit from simplified access to land use and local plan data, within a 500-metre area, as a standardised free map layer. Chris Loaring at Landmark Information said: “The future of digital mapping is now: users can view a wide range of location data, for free, on Promap v2.  The interactive viewable data layers supports our customers in accessing more than just maps from Promap; instead the data layers will help their due diligence, planning applications and overall project planning, and can be viewed free of charge.” To try Promap v2, www.promap.co.uk For further information contact [email protected] or call 0844 844 9960. LIMEWASH ALTERNATIVES FOR MEDIEVAL HALL HOUSE A Grade 2 listed north Devon home has been given a contemporary look thanks to its redecoration with Earthborn paints. The late medieval hall house features particularly ornate plasterwork. Owner Simon Clarke said: “The house is built of cob, a clay soil based building material, and the walls are lime plastered. In order to prevent damage caused by moisture build up in the walls I needed breathable paints, but I didn’t want to use limewash again. I wanted a wider colour palette and paints that would last much longer.” TRUE BRIT! Simon selected Earthborn paints which can be applied straight over limewash: the Ecopro Silicate Masonry System for outside and Claypaint inside. All singing all dancing LED downlights available as GU10 or Engineered Light Engine versions! In high CRI and various optical angles all created in the UK. The Ecopro Silicate Masonry System bonds with underlying materials to create a durable, water and weather resistant barrier. It offers the same high levels of breathability as limewash but is easier to use and lasts much longer. Ideal for stone, brick, concrete, render or cob, it has 24 colours that will not yellow with time. WWW.BBLIGHT.Co Tel 0203 327 0385 A Passion for light and making it work!
