I agree that in the original email thread at https://wiki.openstreetmap.
org/wiki/Attribution/Department_of_the_Environment_
and_Energy_CAPAD#Follow-up_Email they didn't grant the permission that the
method of attribution we propose is acceptable, which based on my
understanding is required on top of the CC BY license for the data to be
used in OSM.

So thank you Andrew Davidson for following up about this:

Department_of_the_Environment_and_Energy_CAPAD#Follow-up_Email

As a side note the LWG (License Working Group) are working towards
clarifying the compatibility of CC BY 4.0 as noted at
