Might sound a silly question, but is flying a drone above a private industrial/railway site legal?

I just did a very limited bit of research and it appears if the drone is less than 250g it's ok, so it depends on the drone.

https://register-drones.caa.co.uk/drone-code/where-you-can-fly

Keep at least 150m away from residential, recreational, commercial and industrial sites​

150m is the minimum distance.
Be prepared to increase the distance if you need to do that to fly safely.

Small drones and model aircraft below 250g​

You can fly small drones and model aircraft that are lighter than 250g at residential, recreational, commercial and industrial sites.
Remember, you must always fly safely.
