General Licences – Wales

General licences in Wales are issued by Natural Resources Wales. You don’t need to apply to use a general licence, but you are required by law to abide by their terms and conditions.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is undertaking a ‘systematic review of the evidence base’. In light of this review, BASC has launched an evidence-gathering survey to help inform NRW’s General Licence decision.

Following an effective survey and report produced by BASC on the use of General Licences in England, this survey will again focus on the importance of the licensing system in Wales at an individual and national level. The survey which can be submitted in both English and Welsh will run until 24th July and only takes 10 minutes to complete.

Please feel free to share the survey links.

If you have problems accessing the survey or questions about how we will use the results, please email surveys@basc.org.uk.
