Areas of Law / General Legal Advice

I am making a movie later on this year but I need to film outside in the street. I need to film around old derelict buildings, on public property only. No one will be trespassing in the building, just around the buildings. I am not sure on the legal situation here.

Any filming on public property would require permission in advance from the appropriate local authority or relevant Council as they have overall responsibility for public land and buildings including roads and streets. Contact should also be made with the local police force and highways department of the relevant local authority to ensure that the filming is safe and if any measures need to be implemented for the safety of pedestrians or road users. If you enter the postcode for the street using this link it will confirm the appropriate local authority and can provide you with a link to the local authority’s contact information page.
