Request a permit to film
Please provide as much notice as possible to allow sufficient time to consider your request.
For larger productions and drone filming we need a minimum of 2 weeks' notice. If you need a road closure, we will require 12 weeks' notice.
Fees
A fee will be payable for some requests, including larger production filming and filming with a drone.
This fee is currently set at £69 (plus VAT) and is under review for the next financial year.
Additional fees for road closures also apply. Please see further guidance on applying for a road closure.
When completing the form you will be asked to provide information. It will be shared with our highways and events teams, including the following:
- Date
- Time
- Location
- Size of your crew
- Reason for filming
- Emergency contact details
If your plans require the temporary closure of a road or public space or include the use of a drone, you will be asked to provide further information and documentation.
This will include details of your public liability insurance and relevant documentation relating to drone use.
