Notifying the police

Once your application has been processed, notification will be sent to the Kensington and Chelsea police operations department - you are still required to inform them of your filming activity.

Please note:

The Council requires production companies filming on-street to undertake a full site specific risk assessment in advance of all shoots, as any failure to do so may invalidate insurance cover.
