Guidance for:

  • developers on how to join a district level licensing scheme to develop land that may affect great crested newts
  • ecologists on how to supply data from site surveys

If a district level licensing scheme does not operate in your area, you must apply for a mitigation licence to carry out work that affects great crested newts.

Guidance is also available on district level licensing schemes for local planning authorities.

For more information, email Natural England.
