This afternoon the Daily Telegraph has released Green Belt data for England. Could anyone import this into OSM? If so how might it be rendered?
www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/greenpolitics/planning/9708387/Interactive-map -Englands-green-belt.html "This map is the first time it has been possible for members of the public to easily see which areas are green belt land, and which are not. The Department for Communities and Local Government released the data for the 2011 green belt to the Telegraph, and it is being made available here to view, explore, share and download. Previously the data has only been available at a cost of tens of thousands of pounds from a third party, despite the location of green belt land being identified by councils using taxpayer money. Expert users may also download a copy of the green belt map <http://s.telegraph.co.uk/graphics/html/Years/2012/GreenBeltMap/2011%20G reen%20belt%20boundaries.zip> (29MB ZIP file) for use in geographic information systems (GIS)." OSM already has many other forms of environmental data so it would be great if this could be included.
