Entirely my fault - I did realise this very shortly after I put it
live, but I hadn't had time to fix it yet and now we have several
threads talking about red and green dots so I don't really want to
change it too much. I have tweaked the colours now so they are about
as deuteranopia-safe as possible while remaining recognisably red and
green (for those with colour-blindness, the green dots are the lighter
ones, and you can always switch the layers off and on to be sure).

If you load the json version of one of the inspire tiles into JOSM, you can see how it matches up with the OSMUK Cadastral Parcels. You will need to change the extension to .geojson before JOSM will open the file.

I think this should be fixed now. I had moved the database and I
didn't realise that the magic environment variable which fixes
everything wasn't set.

Cheers,
