No one may keep any dangerous wild animal listed in The Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 without first obtaining a licence from us.
A licence will not be issued if the applicant is disqualified from consideration or has a conviction under the Act.
- Making an application
-
Apply to us if your business operates in the Sevenoaks District. If your business operates elsewhere, please to apply to your local council.
FeesThe application fee is £629 and the renewal fee is £590.
You will be required to pay the cost of inspections carried out by our authorised veterinary surgeon or practitioner, and this would occur when the licence is applied for, and before renewal every two years.
The licence runs for two years, and must be renewed before the end of the two year period if the licence holder intends to continue keeping the animal(s) named on the licence.
Maintenance to our planning and licensing websites
Over the weekend, we will be upgrading our PublicAccess websites and during these works, it may not be possible to comment on planning or licensing applications. Sorry for the inconvenience.
