Open LiDAR in England

The Environment Agency publishes a LIDAR Composite DTM at 1 m covering about 99% of England, built from surveys flown between 2000 and 2022, with a stated vertical accuracy of ±15 cm RMSE.

The National LIDAR Programme flew all of England at 1 m between 2017 and 2023.

Both are free to use under the Open Government Licence.
