Problems with location

As I stated in a previous posting we chose to locate our setting for our trailer at Bolton Abbey. We decided we wanted to shoot outside an imposing building called Bolton Hall. As the building was owned by Bolton Abbey I emailed the estate office asking for permission to film outside the Hall and also stated to them that we were also planning to film at Strid Woods and next to the River Wharfe by the Abbey.

Bolton Abbey estate office replied stating that they wouldn't grant use permission to film outside Bolton Hall and furthermore that we had to ask written permission to film in Strid Woods and by the river. The email also stated that we'd have to present them with a detailed production schedule with details of times, dates, actors and equipment that we'd be using, they also asked for risk assessments and a copy of school insurance liability policy.

After much thought and deliberation, although the location was perfect, we decided to change our location. This was very short notice but we eventually found a new location that we felt fit with the style of our film trailer.

Our new location is Ghyll Royd School in Burley and Wharfedale.
