Forwarding to this list, perhaps someone has some ideas for how we can make use of the newly released LIDAR data!

Hello,

back in June we had a thread announcing that this LIDAR data was due
to be released. Well some of it has.

https://environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2015/09/18/laser-surveys-light-up-open-data/

http://environment.data.gov.uk/ds/survey#/

I think it's just for England, and appears to be 1m and 2m composite
DTM and 1m and 2m DSM They do intend to release a Tiled version next,
and I think 50cm and 25cm are coming also

What can we do with it?

Cheers,

Tim
