Drones are used extensively by wildlife charities. Examples I'm aware of include:
- 8 cm imagery of individual nature reserves. - Pointclouds of imagery & photogrammetric data of cliffs for vegetation surveys. I would think in a couple of years most larger nature reserves will have been imaged in this way (not least because OSGB does updates on rather a long cycle for such places). Ed Loach has been in touch with a company which flies drone imagery for new solar farm installations. Whether drone imagery will be at all widely collected in urban areas is a different thing. I would imagine it might be more productive trying to get local authorities to make imagery available. The UK is well-behind the curve on this compared to other European countries.
