Draft proposal to carry out an activity on a SSSI

PDF, 106 KB, 2 pages

Details

Owners or occupiers of SSSI land can pay for advice on a draft proposal to cause, carry out or permit an activity that needs Natural England’s consent.

You’ll pay £200 for Natural England to check that your draft proposal contains all the required information before you prepare your statutory notice for consent.

This service does not give you consent to carry out operations on your SSSI land. You must serve a statutory notice on Natural England, before it can give consent. Find out how to get Natural England’s consent.

Natural England will check your draft proposal within 28 working days of receiving it.

1. Fill in the quick check form on this page.

2. Fill in the draft proposal form on this page.

4. Email all documents to protectedsites@naturalengland.org.uk.

This service is not suitable for complex cases and you may need specialist advice or a site visit. Contact Natural England protectedsites@naturalengland.org.uk for advice.
