What’s wrong with it @Mungmeister (apart from the date it was last updated)?
If it helps, as per Drone Scene, Oldham Borough Council does not have any byelaws relating to the recreational use of drones from their land.
Re sub 250g drones ? or am I missing something
For drones under 250g, recreational drone flying should never be within 150m of residential, commercial, and industrial areas, unless for commercial use.
?!?!
It’s just a council “policy” that is thankfully not worth the paper it’s written on 
I think the point being raised was the sub 250g drone section has been drafted by someone with limited ability and possibly lack of understanding of legal interpretation? The first paragragh directly conflicts with the last paragragh of that section (sub 250g drones). First para suggests correctly that you can fly close to (but incorrectly muddies/confuses the point suggesting 50m) and the last para says the opposite suggesting more than 150m.
If their policy wishes to be so precise then why do they not mention pilots with their CoC flying, for arguments sake, legitmately flying a 900g drone under A1?
My understanding is that the “Air Space” is controlled by the CAA and by trying to enforce who needs permission to fly in air space “above council controlled land” would on the face of it appear to be ultra vires; ie beyond their powers. Perhaps to trying to charge for permission when such permission is not required? Moreover, such documents make other people think the the council know what they are taking about. I have seen AI interpretations getting it wrong as the result of such spurious documents.
It comes across that Oldham Council is limited in its ability to draft such documents and it further seems no one is proof reading document prior to publication.
Unless of course I have misunderstood where I can and cannot fly my DJI mini 4 Pro?? Advise me if I am confused; as I do like to stay within the law as best I can.
Which is why nobody pays any attention to a council policy 
Regrettably, common sense and proportionality have never been pre-requisites for local authority staff …
