Jenkins told <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>?Five minutes later the Head of Security for MediaCityUK arrived, with an extremely sizeable security guard.?<\/p>\n<p>Jenkins, who said he was accompanied by a ?model? but insisted he was not a commercial photographer, added: ?He said I was on private property and that I could not take photographs.?<\/p>\n<p>The city?s ?public realm? spaces comprise ?streets, squares, parks, green spaces and other outdoor spaces that are open for everyone to use?, according to the <em>Public Realm Handbook<\/em> published by Salford City Council&#8217;s planning department in 2009. <\/p>\n<p>Developed by The Peel Group, MediaCityUK (pictured above) promotes itself as a \u00a3650 million city on Manchester?s historic waterfront &#8211; providing a ?vibrant, sustainable community of workers, residents, students and visitors?.<\/p>\n<p>?I said to [the guard] that I was in the area called ?public realm? which implied it is for the public to use,? the photographer continued.<\/p>\n<p>?I also pointed out that there are no signs anywhere to state that photography is not allowed.?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Private not public<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Jenkins was told he needed a permit he questioned whether people attending public festivals on the site are similarly restricted when using their mobile phones, for example.<\/p>\n<p>He said the security officer confirmed to him that such visitors would also be stopped.<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes later Jenkins was confronted by another guard (who arrived on a ?Segway? motor scooter) after he was spotted trying to take pictures from a nearby bridge. <\/p>\n<p>The photographer said he was then told to leave the area. <\/p>\n<p>?I then asked where the boundary for the private property was for MediaCityUK, so I would know where I could actually go. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She checked for me and they did not know.?<\/p>\n<p>Jenkins added: ?She did advise that I was being followed everywhere on CCTV.? <\/p>\n<p>A spokeswoman for MediaCityUK confirmed to <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em> that the public realm area is privately owned.<\/p>\n<p>She added: ?MediaCityUK includes an area of public realm but the development is privately owned and we have a responsibility to our occupiers to question photography taking place, should we feel it appropriate to do so.<\/p>\n<p>?The press team here regularly receives requests from organisations or individuals who may wish to take pictures which are not merely generic shots of the buildings or surrounding areas. <\/p>\n<p>?We are always happy to give advice when such requests are forthcoming.?<\/p>\n<p>In a recent meeting with officials at the Home Office, DS Parkes, a counter-terrorism advisor at the Metropolitan Police, conceded that privately-run areas, such as shopping centres, are a &#8216;grey-area&#8217; regarding photographic rights. <\/p>\n<p>He told us: &#8216;It&#8217;s a security guard problem, not a police problem.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>Parkes said that, if photos are prohibited in such areas, warning signs should be on display.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at an event hosted by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amateurphotographer.com\/news\/photographers_stopped_in_street_pictures_experiment_news_308762.html\" title=\"debate about photographers? rights\">London Street Photography Festival<\/a> on 20 July, author and journalist Anna Minton voiced concern at what she sees a proliferation of ?privately managed public spaces? &#8211; blurring the line between what is, and what is not, public land.<\/p>\n<p>In her book, <em>Ground Control<\/em>, published in 2009, Anna Minton asserts that ?untested urban planning has transformed not only our cities, but the very nature of public space, of citizenship and of trust?.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"5\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2011\/08\/RightsWatch_cropped.jpg\" class=\" alignleft\"><\/img>Press &#8216;like&#8217; to join our photographer&#8217;s rights Facebook campaign<\/p>\n<p>Or join AP&#8217;s general Facebook page:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When is a public area private?
