Planning a job in Bath
Across the World Heritage city, many Georgian houses hide their roofs behind stone parapets, so a blocked box gutter or cracked chimney stack can go unnoticed at street level. Close aerial photos of the roofs around the Circus give a surveyor clear evidence before anyone orders scaffolding, and a wider shot places a home within its crescent or square.
Down by the Avon, the Bath Quays schemes and the housing on the old gasworks at Bath Western Riverside suit regular progress records shot from the same fixed points, so each set of images lines up. Hotels, spas and venues can be framed from above against golden Bath stone, and a drone can follow the Kennet and Avon Canal through Sydney Gardens for tourism film.
Flying in Bath
Bath is about 25km from Bristol Airport, whose Flight Restriction Zone does not reach the city, though every site still gets an airspace check. Launching a drone over 250g from a council park, open space or highway needs Bath and North East Somerset Council’s permission, assessed over at least five working days. Flying over National Trust land such as Prior Park needs the Trust’s consent, and elsewhere the landowner must agree to each take-off and landing.
