On the whole yes as its OGL its fine for OSM. However remember to tag with the appropriate source/attribution. A word of warning though that some of the data may not be fully compliant yet so check the licence details for each data type before you use.
Also PLEASE DO _NOT_ DO ANY BULK IMPORTS! So far I've used it to fix the Peak District boundary but nothing else. I think Ed Loach has used it a bit too.

The website states "From 1 April 2012 Natural England is making its publicly available Geographic Information datasets available for commercial and non-commercial reuse under the Open Government Licence. We are now able to use this licence, as we have secured copyright exemptions from Ordnance Survey under the Public Sector Mapping Agreement." (http://www.gis.naturalengland.org.uk/pubs/gis/gis_register.asp) Does this allow the data to be used by OSM? Thanks, David Fisher.
