Natural England launches general licence survey

Natural England has launched a survey for users of General Licences for wild bird control, being conducted by ICF, an independent surveying company. The purpose of the survey, which closes on 1 February 2027, is to understand better how General Licences GL40, GL41 and GL42 are used in practice, the situations in which they are relied upon, and whether they remain practical and effective for those who use them.
