Wild Bird General Licence Restriction Zone

Alternative title(s)

Abstract

Special Areas of Conservation where trapping is not permitted under certain General Licences for wild birds. Relevant licences state whether this exclusion applies. In 2019, changes are being introduced to how you can use some of the General Licences for managing problems caused by certain wild birds. Licensing is an important tool for protecting wildlife whilst allowing necessary activities to take place. The Wild Bird General Licence Restriction Zone indicates areas where trapping cannot be taken under certain general licences on Special Areas of Conservation. You can find out if this restriction applies to a specific general licence by referring to the conditions of the licence. If you need to carry out any licensable actions on land covered by this restriction then you will need to apply to Natural England for a separate licence. General licences are not a consent for the purposes of Part 2 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) in respect to SSSIs so it is your responsibility to get consent or assent if required before a licence can be used on any SSSI irrespective of whether it is covered by this restriction.
