Just a heads up to any cycling mappers in the East of England. NCN
route 31 between Beccles and Southwold has recently been opened and
hasn't been mapped yet.

for each turbine with power_source=wind on each one. It seems it would
be better to have each one as man_made=wind_turbine or something and
group them together with a relation, since the estimated energy output
of a wind farm is usually stated as a whole rather than per turbine.

breach of their original licence. That means that once it is under ODbL
it is simply a matter of whether DbCL is compatible with ODbL, which I'm
assuming it is.
I other words, once the data is licensed under ODbL, the OS OpenData

Have you tried adding barrier=fence/wall/hedge to it? I know they're

Maybe they only work at 1:25k, though.

Indeed, and the bit about OSM is found in the bottom 3/4 of the article
which, let's be honest, most people will not see.

The benefit is we don't have to arbitrarily draw the line somewhere. The
tidal limit is well-defined so it's easy to be consistent.

maps for many different things. Rendering is not a problem. Carto

I've long suspected that local councils and other government bodies are

maps that couldn't possibly have been established with a survey. It's all
