January, 2021.  

The Council has a duty to respond ‘promptly’, or no later than 20 working

Please find the response to the following questions;

 

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

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
