Natural England has confirmed that all criteria have been met to allow 11 new badger control licences to be issued to companies. Eight companies met criteria to allow the continuation of their cull in 2017, in the following counties: Devon, Cornwall, Wiltshire, Somerset, Cheshire, Dorset, and Herefordshire Gloucestershire.
Operations in these areas will be carried out under 4-year licences which allow culling to take place every year between 1 June and 31 January (inclusive).
Start dates for culling activity within this period will be decided by the licensed companies.
Natural England has confirmed to licensees the permitted maximum and minimum numbers of badgers that will be subject to control operations.
