Consultation - Badger Disease Control Licences

Natural England has received applications or expressions of interest for a Badger Disease Control Licence within the counties of Buckinghamshire, Cheshire, Cornwall, Derbyshire, Devon and Northamptonshire.

Following DEFRA's guidance, an opportunity to comment on the applications has been opened. It should be noted that this is expressly not an opportunity to comment on bovine tuberculosis control policy more broadly, but is for those whose livelihoods and daily activities will be impacted by the grant of badger disease control licences.

More details can be found on the government's website.
