Norfolk Screen is keen to ensure that best practices are followed in regards to filming which has allowed us to adopt the Filming in England’s Code of Practice.
The code is not intended to be unduly restrictive but aims at setting out good practice, reflecting the legitimate interests and concerns of those who may be affected by filming activities.
This Code of Practice applies to all forms of production (including feature films, television, commercials, drama documentaries, music videos, idents, stills shoots, student and short film crews) shot on location in public places in England, outside of London which are likely to, or have the potential to, cause disruption to normal activity.
In practice, small on-street location shoots (three people or less) may not need to adhere to all aspects of the Code at all times and it is not intended for news crews.
Productions are urged to read the Code and relevant obligations closely to ensure that they operate within the law.
Please note that although this Code is intended to be as comprehensive as possible, it cannot cover every eventuality. Each production should consult their legal counsel or other advisors in relation to individual concerns.
You can view and download a copy of the Code of Practice below.
