Badger setts are protected by law, but their foraging areas are not. The developers may have applied for a licence to disturb the sett. If this is the case, there will be evidence of fencing and trapping, rather than just bulldozing the sett. If you are still concerned you should contact the local planning authority and the police. Please also inform us.
