Planning a job in Gloucester
Gloucester Docks, Britain’s most inland port, keeps fourteen listed Victorian warehouses around the Main Basin and Victoria Dock, where the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal meets the Severn. A drone can show how a quayside flat, office or venue relates to the water, the Llanthony Secunda Priory ruins and the cathedral tower. In the King’s Quarter, the redesigned Kings Square and The Forum on Station Road suit before-and-after aerials.
Waterwells Business Park near junction 12 and Gloucester Business Park, on the old Gloster aircraft works at Brockworth, have large roofs that are slow and costly to reach with access equipment. One flight can photograph a whole roof, gutters and rooflights included, then map the yard. Alney Island, the floodplain between the Severn’s two channels, floods most years, and a flight while the water is up records its spread.
Flying in Gloucester
Gloucestershire Airport at Staverton sits between Gloucester and Cheltenham. The city centre and docks are outside its Flight Restriction Zone, but runway protection strips extend several kilometres from the runway ends towards the northern and eastern suburbs. For sites around Longlevens, Innsworth or Barnwood we check the official map and, if needed, apply for the airport’s permit, allowing five days’ notice. Every take-off and landing also needs the landowner’s agreement.
