02/ The brief

What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

The existing LandIS agreement between Cranfield University (CU) and Defra sets out the conditions under which Defra can access:

• The platform which is owned and hosted by Cranfield for the provision of National Soil Map (NATMAP)

• National Soil Inventory (NSI) and soil attribute data (SOILSERIES & HORIZON), and its supplementary data bases (broadly: the LandIS platform data).

All Crown bodies currently enjoy full royalty-free access to LandIS, and this available to charities and research institutions. Non-crown bodies such as the Environment Agency or Natural England, and other public sector bodies, private individuals, consultants, and businesses do not have royalty-free access to this data.

Defra and Cranfield University are working towards reducing or removing some of the licencing restrictions pertaining to the afore mentioned datasets.
