- the same charges apply across all Dorset Council land and assets with the exception of country parks and car parking which will be negotiated on a case by case basis
- standard charges assume the land or asset remain open and that normal services are not disrupted and where this is not the case, charges will be negotiated on a case by case basis to account for any loss of income, costs incurred and service disruption
- filming activity taking place in interior locations (internal use of assets) will be negotiated on a case by case basis and may incur additional charges
- bespoke requests may incur additional charges
- all fees and charges are subject to review and may change
