Natural England has now started issuing decisions in relation to applications for individual bird control licences for those circumstances which are not covered by the General Licences issued by Defra in January.
They have published this blog to update applicants on the progress of applications to control gulls on their land or for control of birds on or close to protected sites.
They have also produced a Q&A sheet which can be downloaded here.
