I would understand 'semi-public garden' to be, for example, a garden where you 
pay an admission fee to enter, or one which is closed at night. Like Martin, I 
would expect these to be completely acceptable to map.

I think the intention is to deter people from mapping _fully private_ gardens 
which can be viewed from public roads, is this correct?

Do you think that this page is a good description of community consensus?


There are some points I would like to comment on:

-

  *   OpenStreetMap is not a property registry, thus do not map individual 
ownership of buildings or plots. There is no need to split residential landuse 
into individual plots. (Compare 
Parcel<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Parcel>.)


Yes, we do not map individual ownership of land and buildings generally, but 
unless the owner is a person, we could and privacy regulations would not 
prevent us from doing it. It also isn’t an argument for refraining from mapping 
property divisions, because these are interesting regardless of _who_ is the 
owner


“some structure of a semi-public garden appear to be the borderline of being 
acceptable.“

IMHO exaggerated, semi-public objects can be mapped in all detail and aren’t 
borderline cases

Well, at least according to my understanding of the term semi-public


Cheers Martin
