Hey, I think this seems like a well planned and researched proposal. Personally would be happy to see such an import - especially since you've already got buy-in from the council.
Only really have two questions: - Has the accuracy of the council data been evaluated at all? I'm personally of the opinion that mostly accurate data is better than no data so this is more just a curiosity. - Could you specify those steps you'd be taking for conflation? I don't doubt the ability to do so (this seems like a very competent proposal), but just for transparency of the process.
