What property developers usually ask before signing off

Do we need to be on site with you?

Can we use the imagery for planning discharge?

Yes — dated, GPS-logged imagery is regularly accepted by local planning departments as condition-discharge evidence.

What about airspace restrictions?

Every flight is planned inside CAA authorisations, with NOTAMs filed where required by the local airspace.

Can we get a monthly cadence?

Monthly is the default for most schemes; major civils stages can be ramped to fortnightly by prior arrangement.
