He hadn't landed. No permission required.

I was flying near Boulmer once and flew over a gameshoot that wasn't NOTAM'd (Believe me, I rechecked twice once I'd landed) and one of the shooters raised his shotgun to the ac. Once we landed for the refuel at Boulmer, which was only 5 mins away, we called the RAF Police who called Northumbria Police. After the local police had chatted with the gameshoot, the deal struck was that we wouldn't press charges if they didn't make a low-flying complaint. We had nothing to worry about on that front but we felt that the point had been made.
