It’s not just the local government or the police that must be consulted before the commencement of filming. The residents and local businesses in the area must also be talked to.
The production company can approach the Borough Film Service first in search for information that can help during the consultation process with the local residents and businesses.
Film London also urges production companies to “consider diversity and equality” while they are in the middle of consulting with the residents and businesses near their filming location.
