Crown foreshore around the Isle of Wight

[Gary.at.IOW]

Hi. Thank you for the reply for my message about natural trust areas, I did actually think there was a lot more and larger areas. Can you please help me with the crown foreshores around the Isle of Wight. So I can fly them ok. But around the island there are still lots of beaches that are not covered by the crown foreshore law but are open to the general public for recreational use. Can I fly these shores.

The Crown Estates clarification! Foreshore & Estuary areas

[Wells-Next-Sea] Can someone clarify for me the Crown Estates definition of the foreshore we are permitted to fly within !. https://crownestate.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Viewer/index.html?appid=0aac22685d2f4d78a2a3b0a5aa1660db Am I correct in assuming that the Purple area around the coastline of the UK (as shown above), is the area that we are permitted to fly in !.

Hi. I don’t think I said that. I said you can fly the the crown fore shore lines. I was asking about the shorelines that are not marked as crown foreshore but are open to the General public.

On those you should be ok, the council has no ByeLaws in place, as long as you follow the DroneCode then all is golden

I am of the belief that you are permitted take of and land (TOAL) from Crown Foreshore, but in some cases, local bylaws and area of special scientific interest, like nature reserves, may prohibit this. Also you need to check with Drone Assist or UAV Forecast as these apps will show no fly zones (NFZ)
Personally, I now create a flight plan with Drone Assist, whenever possible, so that others are aware that you will be flying for recreational purposes.
I hope this is helpful.

I recommend (of course I would) our very own DroneScene for more info than the others (they share the same dataset)

Also worth mentioning not to confuse NFZ (made up DJI crap) with the official FRZ (flight restriction zones) which mean something

Hi Gary,

I live on the island, most beaches are ok to fly with the exception of some private ones, ie, Wightcliff bay, Priory Bay etc, these areas usually have security during the summer, these are usually near holiday camps, however they are still open to the public, if not sure research and if needed obtain permission first.

As Ray has pointed out and as the Crown Estate do mention very clearly…

On occasions, third parties such as Government agencies or local authorities may restrict the flying of UAD’s on Crown Estate land. We therefore recommend checking with the appropriate authority to ensure that no such restrictions are in place.
