Mr Brown

While this prioritises safety, it makes the UK drone market far more difficult to enter than in Europe, Asia, or Australia, as Skyports' Mr Brown notes.

Rural operators can, as he explains, make the case that they are operating in atypical air space, or space that isn't likely to have other aircraft flying in it or many people below, as well as demonstrate that they're using high tech navigation and hazard detection technology - options Mr Brown says the UK government is becoming increasingly open to, and is encouraging for entrepreneurs in the sector.

Mr Brown added the case "runs the risk of acting as an impetus for further protests, some of which may be disorderly, around other asylum accommodation".

Mr Brown said he was conscious of the impact owning a second home has and that the policy had made him think twice about owning one.

Sarah Buxcey, from the Department for Education, said the seriousness of the proven allegations meant Mr Brown would not be able to apply to teach again.
