Parked on an unfinished roundabout what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location a minutes walk along the path and you'll get to the canal locks. Not sure what the Canal & River Trust policy is with drones but there was a couple of their staff on site whilst I was there and there were no issues whilst I was flying.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 15/04/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
Drone flying
2.1 As airspace is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) we cannot
prevent drones from using the airspace above our network.
2.2 However, given the nature of our network as a narrow, often intensively used
linear corridor and the risks of accident and nuisance and/or interference with
other users, we do not permit members of the public to use our network for
the purposes of controlling, launching or landing drones which are being flown
for leisure or recreational purposes.

2.3 Anyone wanting to control, launch or land commercial drones on the Trust’s
network (except developers or other third parties already engaged in the
Trust’s third party works process which will consider drone use as part of any
application under the Code of Practice) must first obtain written permission to
do so from filming.photography@canalrivertrust.org.uk . They must also
operate their drone in accordance with the law and must abide by any other
specified conditions.
2.4 Any person planning a photography or film shoot on Trust land must also
adhere to our Filming Safety Guidelines (available from our website here),
which contain requirements regarding the use of a drone camera (UAV) on
shoots.
2.5 If you are concerned that a drone is being flown illegally please contact the
police on 101. In an emergency, call 999
