Glastonbury needs a license for the sale of alcohol and also has an Event Management Plan - see link

https://www.mendip.gov.uk/article/7467/Glastonbury-Festival-Licensing-and-Event-Management-Information

But as a temporary use less than 28 days a year I am not sure that planning approval is needed as well

Plenty of things that still aren’t clear... 

What are all the trucks doing up near PGA?

What on earth are Arcadia up to?

Where are the Pyramid’s speaker/video racks going to fit in?

When will we get first sight of the fence?

Everything about the pier!

It’s a great time to be alive ?

As a working farm, they also have the right to erect "agricultural buildings" of a certain size without planning permission. Which was the legal dodge used to build the 80s/90s version of the Pyramid Stage despite complaints.

I'm sure I remember seeing some sort of planning application for Carmageddon.

Are we sure that's The Wormhole? On the map it seems to be further up the hill.

In previous years some of the cleverer folk in here have posted how to view archive images of the webcam by changing the times on a link to the cam site . I’ve tried to do it but . It doesn’t seem to work anymore . Any ideas  folks.

It's it just me or does the build seem to be quite a bit behind where it normally is by this time? It's not real until the fence is going up!

It's just over 7 weeks until gates open. This is normally when the build approximately starts - if anything, they're ahead.

If anything they are at about the same. The Park stage was partially up in 2017 but nothing of The Other Stage was up, so swings and roundabouts. I think there has been a fair amount going on off camera and probably a lot more things to check that have been dormant for 2 years.

minor point Woffy, the webcam is restircted in angle because of it potentially overlooking peoples houses.  Your mates drone won't be and that may cause some angst if it is seen, which it will be. 

This is something that surely is only a matter of concern between Mr Eavis and his neighbours though.  Most of our houses are viewable on Google Earth, and there's apparently nothing I can do about the people who regularly come and take photos of my home. Likewise, there's not much my neighbours can do about being caught in the background of my CCTV.

If I had a drone I wouldn't be overly concerned in this instance.

Pretty much yeh! Or can just change the X to 1, if that doesn't work, go to 2, then 3, etc upto 5.

If the build was being carried out by the majority of main contractors that I work with, the festival wouldn't be ready until December. And it'd be £2m over budget.

I work in the Rail industry and £2m over budget would be seen as a win

Does anyone know how most of the site is powered?  Is it all by generators, or are any of the stages hooked up to the grid?
