Caa in-20141/181

I have'nt seen anything about it so I put this link on:
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/InformationNotice2014181.pdf

Now I feel like it's going to be quite difficult to quickly film something in London. With 21 to 28 days notice I believe many projects will not make it.
I hope I've misunderstood what I read. (Wouldn't be the first time.)
What about the 2014/081 and what about this advanced Remote pilot qualification that I heard about, that would basically allow to fly within congested areas, anytime, removing the 150m/50m rule in Ano Art.167?

completely confused.

The first In you link to is in effect just re-iterating what was always the case. Submitting and ENSF application always required 21 days 'officially' however, much like the CAA, they are as helpful as they can be and can often process requests in much quicker times. Word of warning though, always tell the client and assume yourself that it will take 21 days to get the approval etc.

As for flying closer than 150/50m its not just an advanced pilots qual that will allow that but the complete safety case. This is no mean task by the way (currently) however we at ARPAS are working closely with the CAA to make the process as easy and as accessible to all as possible in proportion to the risks invovled.

Oh thank you to point how stupid I am!

I'm about to submit an ENSF for the first time. Do you submit 3 on different days hoping that one of those days will have the right weather & be flyable? I see no option on the form to include more than one, or do you choose a window of 3 days?
