DO I NEED PERMISSION?
The answer to this depends on the ground on which you stand: is it public or private property? If it’s private then you should obtain permission, or you could be confronted by security who are within their rights to ask you to stop. Permission to shoot from a public right of way is not needed. The difference between private and public isn’t always clear, so if in doubt, ask.
