Drones

If your drone is over 250 grams and you'll be flying outside, then by law you need to register with the Civil Aviation Authority.

Apply to fly a drone on public land

To request permission to launch a drone on public land within the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees you need to supply:

  • your Civil Aviation Authority registration number and licence
  • evidence of current public liability insurance
  • a risk assessment plan
  • a health and safety plan

A minimum of 14 working days' notice is required to consider an application. Requests received from hobbyists or those who are launching drones for leisure purposes will not be granted permission.
