Planning: Filming Permission Request

In order to make sure there are no problems on the days of production, I emailed Westminster council to ask permission to film in the borough. This is the email that was sent:

Dear Sir/Madame

I am a student of A Level Media Studies and for my Advanced Portfolio I will be working in a group to produce a promotional package for the release of a music video. I would like to make sure that it is okay to do so or request permission to flim in areas of Westminster. Specifically around areas of the river Thames. The finished project will not be made available publicly and will be used solely for coursework purposes. 

Many thanks,
Kirsty Phillips.
