Why not add the OS Terrain®5 (DTM) layer to your basket?
OS MasterMap Topography Layer combined with other Ordnance Survey datasets such as the OS Terrain product, provides the basis for detailed analysis to inform you about real and potential impacts on your customers. This height data is supplied in both grid and contours formats and is maintained as part of the same integrated revision process as Ordnance Surveys large scale data products which ensures the product is consistently maintained and offers unrivalled content currency. Particular attention has been given to the modelling of significant landscape features such as roads, railways, quarries and lakes.
Note: OS Terrain® 5 is a height data product created as a digital terrain model (DTM) representing the bare surface of the whole of Great Britain. Contours are generated from the OS Terrain® 5 using a third party application. They are not subject to Ordnance Surveys accuracy / specifications and are designed to provide a 2 dimensional guideline only. Ideal for Flood Risk Analysis as well as 3D modelling.

No, they do not. OS MasterMap Topography Layer does not show information on land and property ownership.What scale is OS MasterMap Topography Layer data?
