I'd certainly ask permission first.  The document will be copyright even 
if it doesn't bear a copyright statement, so you need written permission 
to use it - an email is fine.  You can then post a copy of their email 
into the Wiki.

I have sent emails to my local council using their general contact 
address from their web site and got fairly quick, useful answers from 
the right person.  It is a good opportunity to spread the message about 
OSM, don't forget to send a link to the Kent area of the map. 


Cheers, Chris
