Socitm response to the Government's Ordnance Survey consultation
Produced by: Socitm
Type: Consultations
This document contains Socitm's response to the Department for Communities and Local Government's consultation on the policy options for geographic information from Ordnance Survey (closing date 31 March 2010).
The response argues that:- base level geographic data should be freely available for non-commercial use
- none of the options offered for consultation guarantee this outcome
- The full cost of the above should be met by Government and can be justified in the context of a 'whole place' approach to public service delivery
- potential cost savings from a 'whole place' approach could be undermined if appropriate business model not found for OS
