Kieren24 4 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi a friends parents house backs onto a field where badgers have set up a set. The set has now gone into their garden. They asked if there is anything they can do to get rid of them as they have dug up the garden. I have said that I don't think there is anything that they can do legally to move them on. Am I right or is there anything that could be done? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 48,857 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Tell them to leave well alone or they will be in deep shit.......the badger people love nothing more that flexing their muscles with some poor well meaning home owner who's life is being made hell and thousands knocked off the value of their property !

Malt 379 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Not much he can do legally, although big companies with plenty of cash always seem to find a way round it when there's a set where they are developing properties.. I'd tell your mate to be quiet about it, the way things are you'll probably have a group of the unwashed trying to take them to court to ban then from the use of their own garden!

Kieren24 4 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I was pretty sure there was nothing that could been done other than just leave them alone and hope they move on. Thought I'd check on here though. So thank you for the replies, anyone got Brian Mays number? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,830 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 They can apply to Natural England to have them removed. NE aren't as bad as people make out. They'll consider any request sensibly and act accordingly. We've just had a similar problem on work sorted out 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
