Drone filming is considered on a case-by-case basis as part of commercial filming for television and film.
We require all applicants to complete our drone permit document and supply all supporting documentation, including a copy of their public liability insurance with a minimum value of £5 million (it must be EC785/2004 compliant). Please note, an application fee of £250 applies for processing the drone permit.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide permission to fly for amateur or student filming or approve requests from any fliers who seek permission in return for access and use of the footage obtained.
