Agenda item

Report of the Director of Communications.

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Director of Communications asking for permissions to the use of drones for commercial filming on the public highway in the City.

RESOLVED, that:

·         The Policy and Resources Committee are recommended to approve that requests to use drones for commercial filming purposes should be assessed on a case by case basis and supported where strict safety measures and guidelines are in place. This would require a road closure to be in place, satisfactory advance notice to allow consultation with departments and properties affected and all the correct Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and NATS (National Air Traffic Systems) permissions obtained and relevant risk assessments and method statements provided.
