NBC has been involved in early consultation with OPRED and JNCC to help secure a successful application for a bird licence during the decommissioning of oil and gas platforms scheduled for removal in Spring 2021 forward.
The key to this successful application is based on our successful track record of effective bird mitigation operations onshore, including supporting UK nuclear decommissioning sites and supporting large utility companies such as Thames Water.

NBC can offer early advice and support in planning to ensure the most appropriate approach to your bird licence application and can advise on the most effective, safe and economically appropriate methods to solve bird related issues, whether it is supplying you an Ornithologist to survey and report, to helping shape your application and implementing the plan and then reporting on the requirements of your licence back to OPRED.
