It’s only “indicating a possible hazard”.

Yes, you can fly here.

It’s not a restricted airspace, but please check their website or call the phone number (that’s what it’s there for) and use some common sense at the time of flying.

Thank you and do you know about “Class D Airspace”? what this means?

You needn’t usually worry about Class D airspace as you’re flying a drone and are flying it within the confines of the Drone Code.

Have a look here: https://dronescene.co.uk/about#ClassD
