Sorry, yes, the source of the data is the Natural England API:

https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f10cbb4425154bfda349ccf493487a80
https://naturalengland-defra.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/f10cbb4425154bfda349ccf493487a80_0/

The data is freely usable, so there shouldn't be any licensing issues.
