Good morning all,
First time poster! I'm hoping to get my mind absolutely crystal clear on flying in a particular manner in the UK.
Short version of the situation: I am currently in dispute with a construction site over breaches of planning permission. Due to the nature of the site it is very difficult to see what they are doing from the highway so am using/intending to use my Mavic Mini 2 to get images and a log of what is being done.
So my understanding is that, given:
1) My drone is under 250g
2) I have a flyer and operator ID
3) I am flying when the site is closed
4) Based on 3) I am not flying anywhere near anyone, nor endangering property
then I am allowed to fly over the site and take pictures without recourse from the company?
Grateful for any advice that anyone may have. I wouldn't want to give the builders any recourse on anything when we are already in a very stressful situation!
Many thanks in advance.
