Fairbairn Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Wonder if anyone can help me with this. I'm in the process of buying a house in Scotstoun however I've just discovered plans to build a new incinerator complex at the industrial estate on South Street. Part of this plan is to erect a 230 ft chimney stack and obviously I'm concerned about a few things in relation to that. One of those is how visible it will be from our new house. I've found the planning page which has various different documents and one of those (link below) is a view from the street towards where the proposed stack will be. Can anyone tell me what "Approx height AOD" means on the link below? Cheers. https://publicaccess.glasgow.gov.uk/online-applications/files/2F4594CBD576EB340BC3CA8D063DF558/pdf/15_00549_DC-VIEWPOINT_D-3178681.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibi Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Ordnance Survey maps show bench marks with levels in metres relative to Ordnance Datum. contours etc are all relative to ordnance datum. To work out the height above ground that it reaches, you need to know the ground level at the chimney and subtract that from the AOD level for the top of the stack.
