General Licence Extension

Following extensive lobbying by BASC and our partner organisations, Defra has agreed to extend the interim general licences, which had been due to expire on 29 February, until 31 July. You can read the announcement here. 

This means that if you are operating under the general licences you can continue to do so.

If you are operating under an individual licence or in or within 300m of an EU designated site, you should apply for an individual licence here. Boundaries of EU designated sites can be found here.

If you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland details of general licences issued by their governments can be found here:

– Scotland –

BASC continues to work with Defra to ensure that legally robust general licences are in place for the protection of human health, agriculture and biodiversity.
