What you can see on the map
• Viewing a Stat Charge on the map
If you have purchased a map for a specific entry (either via a Sheet Entry Search or using the link on the View Statutory Charge Entry screen), you see the map centred on that Stat Charge, with the zoom level set to accommodate the full extent of the charge:
If the Stat Charge is very large, the map may be zoomed out to the point where LPS OSNI/Statutory Charge Registry data layers are not visible:

Any land associated with the address is not identified as it would be in a sheet entry search. To see the Stat Charge boundaries, use the Object list to identify the Stat Charge and then come back to the map with the charge boundaries highlighted
