A zoo is defined as an establishment where wild animals are kept for exhibition to the public, and where members of the public have access with or without payment. Circuses do not fall in the meaning of a zoo. An annual fee is required for the licence and the zoo is inspected on a regular basis. How to applyAnyone wishing to apply, transfer or renew a Zoo Licence should contact the Environmental Health Department on 01273 484358 or email ehealth@lewes.gov.uk, who will outline the procedures to be followed and provide the applicant with the appropriate application forms. Any new Zoos will also require planning approval. |
