DEFRA is seeking views on Natural England’s proposals to change the fees levied under the Wildlife Licence Charges (England) Order 2018.
The changes are required because Natural England needs to:
- enable full cost recovery in line with HM Treasury principles on Managing Public Money;
- introduce charges for new streamlined licensing routes, such as Bat Earned Recognition; and
- ensure funding for licensing service improvements such as digitisation.
There are no proposals to change exemptions to charges.
