UK Guidelines for Mapping Places
Following recent discussions in about Places, Car Parks and Petrol Stations, I've put together this list of guidelines for mapping Places. This should be read in conjunction with generic Wiki page about Places.

Summary
- Only draw Areas around buildings, with as few corners as possible (ideally 4)
- Clusters of buildings or large complexes (e.g. schools, hospitals) can be drawn to fence line - Shopping centres to be drawn as an Area around building + Points for each business
- Small places (less than 40 metres) should preferably be Points
- e.g. anything the size of a McDonald's or smaller - Only draw car park Areas if they are public access and general purpose, and not for customers
- All compliant car parks should be properly named as per local signage. Not with [P]!
- Parking Lot Roads should be left unnamed, except for lay-bys
