Refunds

Refunds of licence fees are not normally given. Only in exceptional circumstances, as deemed by the Head of Regulatory Services, will a refund be considered. Any refunds given may be subject to an administration charge or reduced if officers or the council’s vet have made site visits.

Licence refusals

If an officer advises that a licence will be refused or will be suspended, they should provide details with the reasons why.
