Planning a job in Taunton
Taunton became a Garden Town in 2017, and much of its new housing is going up in urban extensions at Monkton Heathfield, Staplegrove and Comeytrowe, where a drone flown from fixed points on each visit builds a record of roads, plots and landscaping. The Firepool regeneration site, between the railway station, Trenchard Way and the River Tone, suits both progress records and marketing views.
Beyond the town, the land rises towards the Quantock, Blackdown and Brendon hills, and farms, paddocks and country houses can be photographed with the hills behind or mapped field by field. The County Ground and the Taunton Flower Show in Vivary Park draw big crowds, so filming there is arranged with organisers and positioned clear of the audience.
Flying in Taunton
Central Taunton is outside every airport Flight Restriction Zone, but since 19 February 2026 the UK Hydrographic Office on Admiralty Way has been a Ministry of Defence restricted area: drones may not fly over it below 600 feet above sea level without MoD permission. Jobs east of the centre are mapped against its boundary. Somerset Council asks for filming permission before commercial filming launches from council land or pavements, while private fields and gardens need their owners’ consent.
