This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Natural Environment Bill

Natural resource permits - Nature of permits, commencement, duration and review - Transfer and surrender

194: Transferability of coastal permits

You could also call this:

"Passing on a coastal permit to someone else"

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

You can transfer a coastal permit to someone else if it does not say otherwise. You can give the whole permit or just part of it to another person. You cannot move the permit to a different site. You must tell the permit authority in writing when you transfer a coastal permit. This is so they know what is happening with the permit. The transfer does not take effect until they get your notice.
