Zoo licence

At least two months before making an application for a licence, you must give notice to us. The notice must identify:

• the zoo's location

• the types of animals and approximate number of each group kept for exhibition on the premises and the arrangements for their accommodation, maintenance and wellbeing

• the approximate numbers and categories of staff to be employed in the zoo

• the approximate number of visitors and motor vehicles for which accommodation is to be provided

• the approximate number and position of access to be provided to the premises

• how required conservation measures will be implemented at the zoo

You must also publish notice of that intention in one local newspaper and one national newspaper and exhibit a copy of that notice. This notice must identify the location of the zoo and state that the application notice to us is available to be inspected at:
