Protected Species Mitigation Licences are granted by Natural England and cover projects such as housing developments, the construction of pipelines and the building of new fences.
Mitigation & Enhancements
When activities are likely to have an impact on badgers, a mitigation strategy tailored to avoid the specific issues on the site should be put in place.
Mitigation and enhancement measures for badgers include:
- creating a buffer zone around the setts;
- maintaining food and water sources and habitat connectivity;
- excluding badgers from an area of work;
- creating artificial badger setts and;
- improving habitats.
