Cartography for a UK tileset could and should be designed from scratch. If you really want to start with an existing tileset then use OSM Bright, not osm-carto, but I'm not convinced that's necessary. We're much more likely to get a coherent, UK-friendly style by thinking about it from first principles than by adapting osm-carto with its eight-year heritage (and all the attendant compromises). Second, let's not start with raster rendering. Let's build this as a vector tileset from the start, with in-browser/on-device rendering. Vectors have lighter infrastructure needs, and enable clickable POIs and on-the-fly restyling. The UK is small enough that we could just run it through tilemaker (https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker) without the need for a complex stack. The two disadvantages are that the very oldest browsers will struggle, and that (for now) minutely updates don't happen unless you build that complex stack - but that's fine, we still have osm-carto for instant feedback. Let's build tomorrow's map, not yesterday's; and who knows, maybe osm-carto might want to borrow from some of our advances in months to come!
