Shooting Permission
Professional photographers will need a permit if they are shooting on public property or if their shooting impacts others and/or the environment. The threshold varies from location to location, but generally professional photography agencies will need permission if the shoot is a commercial shoot, disturbing traffic or pedestrians, if you're using tripods, dollys, wires, a generator or other equipment on sidewalks or streets and also if you using the public space in a special/different way than it is intended?
If shooting on private property however they just contact the owner directly for permission. They may still have to pay a location fee.
If shooting without permission they face multiple risks including litigation or arrest which could damage a company's reputation and finance.
Quarry:
The land is owned by a local farmer who doesn't use the land, I have spoken to the landowner and he has agreed to let me shoot on the site for the period of the weekend. To agree with this he has signed a form produced by myself to confirm this agreement.

Model Release Contract
What It Is and Why It’s Important.
At its most basic, a model release is a contract. It is a written and signed agreement between you and the person you are photographing, the purpose of which is to protect– release– you from liability in future lawsuits which that person might file against you for legal claims like invasion of privacy, defamation of character, etc. The document stipulates the terms under which one party may use photos taken of another party. They are usually brief– no more than a paragraph– but they can get quite long, especially if the subject of the photo tries imposing additional conditions (e.g., no Photoshop). We’ll get into the specific contents of the model release in a bit. For now, though, know that a model release is a crucial piece of paper for any commercially used photograph.
