Relatives neighbour has started flying a helicopter from his field.

Anyone familiar with CAA "requirements" for such use?

Area is tight with only realistic approaches crisscrossed with low
power lines, footpaths, farms, A road, park etc etc

Congested area seems to be a keyphrase?

Does anyone have any thoughts/experiences?

Become a radio ham, and get all the other people in the area to do the
same, then all erect 200 foot tall towers with nice long guy wires and
an aerial and little red light at the top.

If they are 200 feet high, they won't normally need the red light. The
Air Navigation Order only requires lights on en-route obstacles of 150
metres of more in height, unless near a licensed aerodrome.
