A group of landowners in West Somerset has successfully overturned a decision to allow badger culling closer to their property.

They have been vaccinating badgers on their land, as an alternative to the cull. Natural England was proposing to remove the buffer zone between them and the culling area but has now backed down in the face of legal action.
