This call for input forms part of early, non-statutory engagement and is intended to help us refine the drafting, structure and operability of the licence conditions before launching a statutory consultation planned for Q2 2026.
We welcome feedback on the full draft, with a particular focus on specific policy areas and drafting points where stakeholder input is most valuable at this stage. Please read the call for input document for full details on how to respond.
