I fly frequently from the intertidal zone with no permission. My PfCO or the ANO does not state that I need permission from land owners to flyover, assuming all standard rules are adhered to. However, I do try and inform where practical to do so, commercial or not.

Most contracts stipulate £5 million minimum and the Dept of Communities ask for £10 million

Too expensive for me when I multiply it up. It might be ok for low number of jobs though.

That's who I'm with now. 3rd company in 3 years!

Yeah coverdrone does the 1mill too and it can be upped temporarily if a job requires more.

I learned lesson last year...doing my renewal now at the earliest the CAA accept I.e. 3 months before expiry of existing permission. It will then run on from the natural expiry of your existing PfCO, I'm not risking any gap this year due to long CAA processing queues.

I refused to pay monthly fees so this is welcome. Can I ask that you publish your fee model here? Also I'm more than a little cautious when a business only publishes a mobile number, doesn't give a professional feel to it. Just sayin'.

From a PfCO perspective you do need permission from the landowner for all takeoff and landings, it is very clear. There is no provision in the Permission for exceptions. Sorry to burst your bubble but that's the law within your permit. Remember too that if you fly out side your PfCO your...
