Drone & Aerial Photography for listed-building consent
A listed-building consent sits in a specific piece of the city; the drone aerial has to reflect that or it stops being useful. Listed-building consent submissions need imagery that shows fabric honestly — the shoot is scoped for the conservation officer, not the buyer.
Context
Heritage consent imagery is fabric-first.
Concretely, high-resolution aerial stills and 4K video, supplied within 48 hours. Everything moves at conservation-officer pace; nothing on the building leaves a mark.
