Quote:quote:The very nature of HERs is that they are publicly available, so if it is recorded in the HER then this data is automatically in the public domain
In a way that is true.. and it is why this is good news that a data transfer (which has been offered before) is being put forward ...
many HERs have 4 figure NGRs (a legacy of paper maps) but more importantly, for the protection of both a site and the landowners rights the obfuscation (I love that word) of data is essential... the HER will have the exact data... but the public (and those nasty nighthawks - won't) it will be useful for general study, but if you want more precise data, it exists... protecting sites of potential is imperative... and I am right in thinking the PAS do the same.
