New Everton Stadium Discussion

[allen]

Well you'd imagine that, given the land is private property now with many people operating dangerous machinery, the club will stop drones flying over and getting too close to the site. Drones can malfunction and you wouldn't want one of those to fall on your head from 150m in the air.

Yes - though of course the land is private property, but the airspace isn’t.

Like I say, I’m no expert, but a cursory Google suggests to me that drones need to be 150m away from “residential, recreational, commercial and industrial areas.”

Which sounds like BMD to me… so I’m pretty sure the club would be well within their rights to stop this at the point it becomes dangerous (probably the construction phase).

But I suspect we’ll continue to see drone footage shot from the Mersey if they do enforce a ban.

Actually, as a postscript to my previous message, if the drone is small enough, that 150m restriction does not apply:

You can fly small drones and model aircraft that are lighter than 250g, or C0 or C1 class, in residential, recreational, commercial and industrial areas.

Remember, you must always fly safely.

And I’m pretty sure one of the guys has specified he’s using a DJI Mini 2, which comes in under that threshold.

So who knows? “You must always fly safely,” sounds like a very woolly rule.

For most drones, it is a minimum 50m horizontal distance from a person and the drone and the height of the UAV holds no weight in the argument.

e.g. if you're 200m up but over someone it's an offence. As the height increases, you should (not mandatory) actually increase the minimum distance.

There are some exceptions based on the above, but they'd have to prove that. In reality, the only footage should come from above the Mersey.

looks like the stadium's been built!!

Do you see how prominent and impressive Anfield looks there?

No, me neither

Read in a news item that at the moment our new stadium is not only the biggest construction project in liverpool but in the whole country.

Think HS2 might top it.

HS2 will never happen, ive heard they cant get the funding, its a pipe dream from a carpet bagger and there'll be a running track around it if it does get built

Wonder if anybody has done any feasibility studies on redeveloping the old one...

Looks boss that, hell of a long way to go though to fill that space between BMD and Princes dock.

Or Cross-Rail although that's probably not classed any more as it's nigh on signed off in terms of construction

I can see the HS2 Denham site from my house. I live on top of a hill that overlooks that section. It's huge.
