Additional information

The municipality, the Land Registry and other private and government agencies provide land measurements. For the determination of the area of a plot, the measurement by the Land Registry is decisive. The municipality (or the Land Registry on behalf of the municipality) also measures the so-called underground infrastructure, such as cables and pipes, and lists them on a map.

Survey data are topographic data. These are, for example, data on height and surface area of land or buildings. But also data from measurements about trees, cables and pipes and property boundaries. The municipality uses this data when making the environmental plan.
