Nick,

Please, please talk to mysociety.org about this -- they've already done
something similar for urban infrastructure at www.fixmystreet.com. They
have a licence to use OS maps for that, but I don't see why they
wouldn't be interested in an OSM-based system if it's
simpler/cheaper/better.

I'll try to find the best person for you to speak to, if you like.
