Gunwharf and surrounding buildings

As I was only given very limited plans from the architects, I had the task of finding out the sizes of the surrounding buildings myself. To do this I was advised to buy an ordanance survey map covering the area. After buying the map I realised that the area covered was very small on the map and still didn't open much light on the subject. It was then I decided to phone Portmouth council and see if I could gain any information on Gunwharf Quays and the surrounding areas. I was put in contact with guy called Andrew in the planning section tht was veery helpful. He wasn't able to supply me with printouts of the plans, but he was able to use a program that the council have that is similar to Google Earth. Using this program he was able to measure the heights of the parts of the buildings that I asked him for. This turned outto be a very valuable resource as i was able to phone him to gain other measurements if needed.
