Continuing the discussion from Brill, Buckinghamshire - Added to Historic Buildings in South East:
07Aug2022 This is now a no drone zone with a parish council notice
I think theyâre clutching at straws there.
Obviously no one had any understanding of the drone code either.
Wouldnât stop me flying it

Just to keep this going in case HHH is reading
The Code forbids the flying of UAVs within 150m of people,
crowds, buildings, and recreational areas.
Still lolâing

to be fair it does say the policy doesnât apply to sub 250g drones.
So fly with the mini 3 to your heartâs content,
Whether the locals will be able to tell the difference is another matterâŚ
Theyâll be too busy looking for the new age outlaws.

It also seems to leave it open for Article 16 flights.

Sort of
It does not cover small drones or model aircraft up to 250g in weight sold as toys or designed for children
That reads like theyâre asking you nicely to please not fly? My question to them be
âCould you please stop distributing pointless and non recyclable materials on your sitesâ?

That is such a shambles of misunderstanding, out of date, and incorrect information, I think I might just drop them an email to try to bring them up to date.
I suspect I may be wasting my time, but I might enjoy it

What is there around that area thatâs good to film that makes the two hour drive worthwhile?
GADC members crotch dropping the local parish councillors when told they donât have permission to fly? 
The pub!
If they are going to take the time to come up with this sort of thing they should also take the time to do homework and read the regulations that they misquote!
Let them call the police as threatened. They can then be informed as to the correct rules, airspace ownership, privacy rights etc and shamed for wasting police time!
As a relatively new drone pilot I have been shocked by the level of anti drone messaging (incorrectly!), by local councils, the National Trust, etc. The majority of drone pilots as far as I can tell are well educated, but itâs these bodies which fuel anti drone sentiment in members of the public, who see notices or look up info online and then feel they are in the right to challenge anyoneâs ability to fly almost anywhere.
Brill Parish Council as highlighted by many have got this so wrong, itâs outrageous that a council can simply make up a policy without checking the accuracy of the statements they are making or for that matter the legality!
The main basis of their concern seems to be risk of âdisturbance to people, animals and birdsâ and yet they highlight âball games and kite flying are popular pastimesâ, Iâm not sure either are any less disturbing and as for visiting wedding parties!?!
Very disappointing that while the CAA seems to be more supportive of the drone hobby, many are against with no real justification.
