Thank you for your request for information about:
“a complete list of all Great Crested Newt License Applications made, over the last 24 months. Please include
the names of the peopel/companies making the applications.”
which we received on 3rd May 2010. Your request has been considered under the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004.
Please find enclosed a list of all Great Crested Newt development licences. Natural England began using a new
database for recording licences in October 2008, and the data provided therefore comes from two different
sources and is in two slightly different formats. There is a possibility that some information has been duplicated;
from October 2008 any amendment submitted from an earlier application had to be re-entered onto the new
database.
