<p>I think there may be a problem here. The web page describing the
data says "© Natural England copyright. Contains Ordnance Survey
data". Many public bodies suffer from the viral OS copyright
problem, where the data is based on OS mapping data and OS have
claimed copyright over the geodata element of such data in the
past.</p>
<p>You need to be sure this is not the case before you use any of
these datasets in OSM.</p>
