Shooting Licences for Cormorants and Goosanders

The request was partially successful.

Dear Natural England,

I would like to know how many applications for licences to shoot either goosanders and/or cormorants were made in each of 2017, 2018 and 2019. Of these applications how many were repeats and how many were new, how many were granted, how many rejected and how many still pending. I would like to know this at national, regional and local level and who was the issuing/rejecting advisor in the NE organisation. (I am especially interested in DT1 if this is a regional department).
Thank you

Yours faithfully,
Tim Walton

Dear SM-NE-FOI (NE),

Thank you for the input. I understand that naming the NE officers may not be possible. I did ask for the total figures that you gave to be broken down to regional and local figures. Do you not keep these data or did you choose not to give them to me?

Yours sincerely,

Tim Walton
