It has already been done for England too[0] (although the abstract says 'over 70% of England' so some parts must be missing).
I think someone made a Minecraft map out of the current data, will be interesting to see what is made from the update.

- aglionby 9y agoNot sure if this is the same map you're talking about, but Ordinance Survey made a map[0] using data they had in 2013, and then again in 2014. This was based on height data at 50m resolution. It's hard to see how OS capture height exactly, I imagine via aircraft[1]. Not sure whether they are the source of the existing data the Environment agency has; I doubt it as their data has a max resolution of 5m while the government's is 1m.
