I am a retired cartographer who enjoys extending his connection with and love of mapping by contributing to OpenStreetMap (OSM). My current project is to improve Public Rights of Way (PROW) attributes and add their PROW and Chiltern Society references to ways in OSM. I am concentrating on Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire because that is my geographical area. Their local authorities make available downloads of their Public Rights of Way and I have Ordnance Survey OpenData civil parish boundary data, too. It would be most useful to have a digital boundary of the Chilterns AONB. I have searched the internet and cannot find such a file to download. I communicated with Lucy Murfett, Planning Officer at Chilterns Conservation Board and received this reply:
Dear Bob, Thanks for your message and great that you are able to give your time to improving this map resource. I am attaching an AONB boundary map with an OS base. I love using GIS but I’m afraid I am not knowledgeable about how to share layers or know whether we have permission to do this. Have you tried accessing the AONB boundary on the Government’s websites: http://www.magic.gov.uk/ or https://data.gov.uk/data/map-preview?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geostore.com%2FOGC%2FOGCInterface%3FSERVICE%3DWMS%26UID%3DUDATAGOV2011%26PASSWORD%3Ddatagov2011%26INTERFACE%3DENVIRONMENT%26LC%3D800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000&n=55.816&w=-6.236&e=2.072&s=49.943 Neither of these sites seem to offer the opportunity to download a digital file. I wonder if an OSM user here can help? --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
