The Offshore Installations (Safety Zones) Order 2026 establishes 500-metre safety zones around three specified offshore installations—Global Producer III, Solan, and Wenlock, using coordinates based on the World Geodetic System 1984, specifically to maintain protection during their ongoing dismantlement phases.

This Order is made by the Secretary of State under the Petroleum Act 1987 and concurrently amends previous orders by removing safety zones related to the Thames Bure Wellhead, Thames Yare Wellhead, and the Victoria Subsea Production Well.

The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Bristol) (Emergency) (No. 2) Regulations 2026, made using powers from the Air Navigation Order 2016, immediately prohibit aircraft from flying below 1,500 feet above mean sea level over a restricted area around the M5 Avon Bridge in Bristol, specifying a radius of 1.0 nautical mile; flights operating under directions from Avon and Somerset Police are explicitly exempted from this temporary, emergency measure.

This Statutory Instrument, made by the Secretary of State for Transport, immediately revokes the previous emergency regulations that restricted flying in the specified area of Sourton Down, Devon, because the necessity for those restrictions is deemed to have passed in the public interest.

This statutory instrument is a formal correction notice for the UK's Merchant Shipping (Accident Reporting and Investigation) Regulations 2026, specifically amending Regulation 13(5) on page 11 to change a cross-reference from 'regulation 16(4)' to the correct 'regulation 16(3)' to ensure the legislation functions as intended.

These Regulations formally revoke the preceding statutory instrument—The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Cramlington, Newcastle) (Emergency) Regulations 2026—because the Secretary of State for Transport has determined that the exceptional circumstances requiring the emergency restriction on flying over the Cramlington and Newcastle area are over, thereby immediately lifting all associated flight limitations.

The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Cleethorpes Armed Forces Day) Regulations 2026 establish temporary and specific prohibitions on aircraft flying below 5,000 feet mean sea level within a 3 nautical mile radius centered at 533334N 0000115W between 1100 and 1630 hours UTC on June 27th and 28th, 2026, to safeguard the public during flying displays planned for the Cleethorpes Armed Forces Day event, allowing exceptions only for flights authorized by the Display Director.

The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (The Victory Show, Cosby) Regulations 2026 enforce temporary limitations on aircraft operations below 4,000 feet above mean sea level within a 3.5 nautical mile radius centred at 523314N 0011234W between September 4th and September 6th, 2026, specifically to ensure public safety during flying displays scheduled at The Victory Show in Cosby.

These Regulations establish temporary, strict restrictions on the flight of unmanned aircraft (drones) below 1,400 feet above mean sea level within a precisely defined geographical area encompassing Crystal Palace Park, London, for specific periods between June 26 and July 4, 2026, citing the necessity of public safety and security due to planned large public gatherings like music concerts; the restriction provides exemptions only for aircraft operating under specific permission from the event organizer or those managed by police air support units.
