      When I follow the link I get the same error message as Nick above saying "Invalid Link - The link you are trying to access does not exist" How can this be rectified?

      The help video posted is no use as it does not include instruction on how to log on if you are an independent consultant of a member of the public. The speaker in the video refers to a previous video which seems to explain how to do that????

      Hi Frederick,
      The Lidar data is openly available to everyone - no log in required.

      We did experience a few issues accessing the Lidar data yesterday but this has now been rectified.

      Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

      Thanks for the email. I've seen the video which shows how to download a small area. As mentioned I am wanting a full download of lidar data. If I create a polygon to cover the whole coverage, it's saying it's too large. I am unable to submit the order. It does say in the message about enabling a full download...but I can't see how I can do this? Apologies in advance if this is obvious.

      Hi James,
      Due to the enormous size of the Lidar data we only downloadable in smaller tiles.
      We can however supply a large/full extract of the data offline. Please make a request using the Report An Issue link on this forum, specifying your requirements. You may be asked to send in a hard drive for the data to be loaded onto.
