Our policy on drone usage
Contents
Introduction
This policy sets out the use of Unmanned Ariel Vehicle (UAV) or drones, and model aircraft in parks and green spaces or other Council owned land. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) grant permissions for commercial operations (PfCO) which is essentially a licence to operate on a commercial basis, but this is not for domestic / pleasure drones. Current legislation over the use of UAV and drone use is restrictive but largely unknown by the public. For the purpose of this policy the terms ‘UAV’ and ‘drone’ covers all forms of remotely operated aircraft.
