Due to the unprecedented challenges we are facing during the coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic, resources may be diverted away from usual compliance
or information rights work.

 

Whilst the statutory timescales cannot be extended the response to your
request might be delayed as we may have to divert our resources to help
with other challenges.

 

In all further correspondence please quote our reference FOI3390. Thank
you for your request for information.

 

Your request was received on 21/01/21 and the Council is dealing with it

As required by the legislation, the Council aims to answer your request
promptly, but no later than 20 working days after receipt. As stated in
the Information Commissioner’s guidance, Awareness Guidance 11 Time for
Compliance, the 20 working day clock starts the day after the Council
received the request. The due date has been calculated to be 18/02/21.

 

If the information you have requested contains reference to a third party,
then they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken on whether or
not to release the information to you.

Dear North Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council,

Can you please advise if you have any byelaws relating to the use off UAVs
(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) from your land, and if so can you please either
provide a copy or the link to their location on a website.

If you do not have any byelaws, do you have any other policies relating to
the use of UAVs on your land?

Can you finally advise if these have been reviewed in relation to CAP722C
([7]https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapplic...)
published by the Civil Aviation Authority in December 2020.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Hawkins
