JTOBIAS; be careful about hovering and manouvering around the grounds of a hotel; check out SERA and the 60m rule...
Have you tried speaking to the council direct? Can you bamboozle them with risk assessments, experience, previous landings etc? If you’ve been there before then why the change of heart from them? Does a councillor live nearby? Have you upset someone?
which hotel is it?
