Know exactly who to ask to film here.
Add a location and the Permit Wizard tells you who owns filming permission there, what you need to apply for and roughly what it costs, drawing on a UK permissions corpus. The permit threads onto the location, so the whole crew can see its status at a glance.
A location, with its permission route worked out
Clearing a location means guessing which council, borough or landowner to call, hunting for the right form, and hoping you left enough lead time before the shoot day.
Add the location and see the authority, the application and the likely cost, with the lead time flagged. The permit lives on the location, so nobody turns up to a site that was never cleared.
Permit Wizard, step by step.
Add the location
Drop a pin or a what3words address. ShootFlow knows the site and the kind of permission filming there is likely to need.
It works out the route
Against a UK permissions corpus, it names the authority to approach, what to apply for, a typical cost and the lead time to allow.
Thread it on
The permit attaches to the location with its status. Move that location between days and its permission moves with it, visible to the whole crew.
Questions producers ask
How do I find out if I need a permit to film somewhere?
Add the location in ShootFlow and the Permit Wizard tells you who owns filming permission there, what to apply for and roughly what it costs, drawing on a UK permissions corpus. The permit then threads onto the location so the crew can see its status.
Does it cover the whole UK?
It draws on a UK permissions corpus spanning councils, boroughs and common landowners. It points you to the right authority and application; you still submit the application to them directly.
Does the permit stay attached to the location?
Yes. Permission is threaded onto the location itself, so its status travels with the location across shoot days and is visible to everyone on the production.
Will it apply for the permit for me?
It tells you exactly who to ask, what to apply for, the likely cost and the lead time. The application itself goes to the authority; ShootFlow makes sure you know what to file and when.
