Hurrah! Ordnance Survey consultation is live!
Thanks to a little bird at an interested organisation, we now know that the DCLG has opened its consultation on OS data.
It’s at http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/corporate/ordnancesurveyconsultation, where we learn that the closing date is 17 March 2010 (and the opening date is today, 23 December 2009).
Consultation paper on the Government’s proposal to open up Ordnance Survey’s data relating to electoral and local authority boundaries, postcode areas and mid scale mapping information.
The consultation document itself weighs in at 2.2MB of PDF and 91 pages.
As ever, let us know your thoughts.
Update: and don’t miss the Impact Assessment paper – here’s the PDF of the Impact Assessment – which for some strange reason isn’t linked from the main page.
