Further testing has confirmed this to be a highly pathogenic strain (HPAI H5N1) on the 27 October 2021. All birds on the infected premises have been humanely culled.
Following a risk assessment the Protection Zone and Surveillance Zone were amended and Captive Bird (Monitoring) Controlled Zones put in place around the premises. Following successful completion of disease control activities and surveillance within the zones, the 3km Captive Bird (Monitoring) Controlled Zone Area A declared on 1 November 2021 was revoked on 26 November 2021 and the areas merged with the 10km Captive Bird (Monitoring) Controlled Zone Area B.
Following completion of surveillance activities in the zone, the Captive Bird (Monitoring) Controlled Zone Area B declared on 26 November was revoked on 27 November 2021.
In disease control zones, certain movements of poultry, other captive birds, eggs, poultry products or materials associated with their keeping, or mammals from or to premises where poultry or other captive birds are kept, are not permitted. This is to control further disease spread.
Some low risk activities or movements are possible, provided that all conditions of the general licence are met by the person responsible. If it is not possible to meet the conditions, or if the activity or movement is not covered by a general licence, you can apply for a specific license.
You can apply for licences for some low risk movements from any Protection Zone or Surveillance Zones currently in force.
Licences for the movement within or from the Captive Bird (Monitoring) Controlled Zones currently in force are not required.
Specific licences
Specific licences cover a movement or activity in a disease control zone when not covered by a general licence (see below). A specific licence will normally allow a one-off movement and will be subject to strict conditions based on disease control risk.
You should submit your application as far in advance of the requested move as possible. It should be fully completed and include details of your premises registration.
You must register your birds with APHA before applying for a licence. Find out how to register your birds.
You must allow at least 5 days for the processing of your licence application. Complex and high-risk movements will need extra time to process. You must make contingency plans to allow for this, and consider what steps you will need to take if the licence cannot be issued in time.
The activity or movement for which you require a licence must not take place until a licence is issued and must be completed within the validity of the licence.
Licences may be reviewed and revoked if area or premises restrictions change.
General licences
General licences allow a movement or activity that would otherwise be prohibited in a disease control zone. You need to check that you meet and comply with the conditions of the general licence. If you do, you do not need to apply for a specific licence. You can rely on the general licence as providing authority for the movement or activity.
General licences are not applicable for the movement of any thing to or from premises which have been served a restriction notice by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).
The following general licences are available in Great Britain:
General licences are available for food business operators in England – see the meat from poultry within the Protection Zone section below.
No other general licences have currently been issued for this outbreak.
Meat from poultry within a Protection Zone in England and Wales
To reduce animal health risks, food business operators have to follow specific rules for any meat produced from poultry or farmed game birds originating within a Protection Zone. Other poultry meat (from poultry not originating within the Protection Zone) is unaffected.
Meat produced from poultry or farmed game birds originating within a Protection Zone can be moved or sold, subject to several conditions. These include a requirement that the health mark is replaced with a specific mark which must remain with it throughout any processing or repackaging. These conditions are set out in General Licence EXD249(HPAI)(EW).
Under some specific circumstances – set out in General Licence EXD 264(HPAI)(EW) – the recipient of poultry meat is permitted to remove the specific mark temporarily for production, and in some circumstance not to re-apply it.
The legal requirements are set out in each general licence.
Avian influenza controls are enforced by Local Authorities Animal Health Function (LAAHF), which is normally situated with the Trading Standards or Environmental Health Service of a local authority. See our postcode tool to find details of how to contact your LAAHF with any reports of non-compliance.
