uin	HL2400
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2021 answer text <p>In England, licences - for the purpose of preventing serious damage to land, or any other form of property - to kill or take badgers, or to interfere with a badger sett are granted by Natural England (NE). NE is authorised, on behalf of the Secretary of State, to grant licences for this purpose.</p><p> </p><p>In situations where badgers are causing damage to cemeteries or burial grounds, NE can provide case-specific advice to the local authority if requested, and this may include a site visit where this would be beneficial. If the damage is caused by foraging activities, then advice will normally relate to preventive measures that do not require a licence, such as the use of fencing and other proofing. Where the sett itself is causing damage to graves, then an application for a licence to exclude badgers from the sett may be appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>Licences will only be granted where there are no satisfactory alternatives, the action to be licensed is proportionate to the scale of the problem and the licensed action will contribute to resolving the problem.</p><p> </p><p>General guidance on the protection afforded to badgers and licensing activities impacting badgers is available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/badgers-protection-surveys-and-licences" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/badgers-protection-surveys-and-licences</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Defra has no current plans to issue any further guidance to local authorities about the control of badgers in cemeteries or burial grounds.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 21/09/2021 12:06:30 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
