This OTC allows the public to raise potential impacts a cull may have on their business or livelihood. Natural England will review public responses and ensure where relevant, they are taken into account, when assessing the application.

If your comment is not related to an impact on your livelihood or daily activity locally within the county, Natural England will not consider your comment.

Your comment

Natural England will consider any impacts on livelihoods and daily activities that are relevant to the applications and may share this information with the relevant applicant, based upon your postcode or specific point of interest. This is to allow the relevant applicant to consider appropriate mitigation measures, before completing their licence application.

If you agree to Natural England supplying your contact details to the licence applicant, in specific circumstances, you may be contacted regarding the issues raised and possible mitigation measures.

Commenting on more than one county

Comments should be submitted according to the county which the comments relate to. If you have comments on more than one county, you will need to complete the survey for each county.
