There's another part which lists what you can't photograph - you have to
ask any employee's their permission if they are in the shot for example
- the document then says...

"If you sign this photography contract you agree to abide by these
conditions and agree that permission will be revoked and that your
photographic equipment may be confiscated by a member of staff should
you disobey these conditions."

It is not just you Steve, and it has been this way for a very long time.

  I no longer visit NT properties because of their attitude, and it not 
only applies to their building but also to their land. There have been 
cases, for instance, of photographers being stopped from photographing 
on Dartmoor! Strangely though they are keen to use photographs from 
'outside' when it suits them for their publications, and I have had one 
image published by them and paid for at the going rate.

Seems strange, but it does help sell guide books and postcards (,e 
cynical, never!)
