Filming on the highways
Buckinghamshire is a film friendly place. We welcome enquiries from anyone who wishes to film on highways to create:
- non-news films
- television or stills photography production
To maintain safety and minimise any disruption to the public and business and have developed a Code of Practice. The code applies to everyone involved in productions.
Before you start filming
You must inform us prior to any filming on the highway and provide:
- a risk assessment
- a method statement
- a copy of your insurance policy
Filming on public roads always carries some risk. We prefer that filming does not take place on the A and B roads during peak periods. However, we will consider filming on all roads when it is safe and the public will not be disadvantaged.
Fees
Depending on where you are filming, you may have to pay:
- £359.00 admin fee for filming applications
- £185.00 for officers to attend a site visit to discuss filming requirements (per visit)
- £1,224.00 for filming notices requiring road closures lasting no more than 24 hours
- £3,031 for filming orders requiring road closures lasting more than 24 hours
