Can I fly a drone over private property?

Yes, but with important considerations.

UK airspace is not generally owned by the landowner below, meaning drones can legally fly over private property in many circumstances.

However, drone pilots must still comply with privacy laws, data protection requirements and CAA safety regulations. Repeatedly hovering over someone's garden or home could result in complaints or legal issues.

You also cannot automatically take off or land from private property without the owner's permission.
