Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Usage Policy

Last updated: 6 September 2022

Conclusion

The Drone can be used by Buckinghamshire Council to provide photographic views of existing sites (authorised or otherwise) or proposed sites for planning and development.

No authorisation is needed in the circumstances providing it is clearly shown that the Drone is being used overtly.

In circumstances where the Drone would be used covertly for the prevention and detection of offences that attract 6 months imprisonment or more, then authorisation under RIPA has to be obtained before that surveillance can take place.
