Consultation description

We want to know your thoughts about our draft code of practice which sets out how we’ll use new controls on invasive non-native species.

We’ve got new powers - known as species control provisions - which allow Defra and its agencies to require owners to take action against invasive non-native species. If an owner has refused to act or allow access, it also allows us to take action.
