Our local council (East Devon District Council in Devon UK) has issued a drone policy that basically bans hobby drones from taking off or flying over any land owned by them. They may allow a commercial flight on payment of £200 and that appears to be for one flight!! However there are very tight restrictions even on that. They also say we should have written permission from any landowner that we take off from or fly over which is news to me. I have asked them (among other things) to provide me with a map of their land and whether a tenant (for instance a farmer) can give permission as many of our farms are council or church owned. However if caught they say they will "instruct you to stop immediately". which does sound a rather empty penalty !
I guess we were expecting this kind of petty response. Interesting days ahead.
