CAP 722 from the CAA

Basically all current drones will become legacy drones from December 2021 , twelve months time. The use of such will be severely restricted.

UAS operators will require permission to fly, from landowners ie this may include footpaths and public rights of way otherwise you may be committing trespass.

UAS operators will have to obtain explicit permission from people on beaches or parks if they wish to fly in these areas. The whole regulation requires a degree to understand. I implore UAS operators to read and digest it.

will be severely restricted.

There doesn’t seem to be anything new in this that we haven’t discussed in detail before.

Exixisting drones become legacy drones at the end of 2020, not 2021, and the restrictions for legacy drones are not as severe as people claim.

There is nothing in this new document requiring anyone to seek permission from landowners, or for public rights of way, or from people in beaches and parks.
