Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988

This is a key document, available from the OPSI at [1].

Of interest is the entirety of chapter 3 (starting at [2] and continuing on the next page). This sets out a long list of "Acts Permitted in Relation to Copyright Works" - starting with fair dealing, then a long list of more specific exemptions. This contrasts with the U.S. situation, where there is a more generous fair use test.

See in particular section 62 [3] "Representation of certain artistic works on public display". This basically sets out the kind of exemptions for which we are arguing, except that they apply only to buildings and "sculptures, models for buildings and works of artistic craftsmanship, if permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public."
