Maldon District Council

Dangerous Wild Animals Licence

Summary

View pages in this section

Licensing legislation exists to protect the welfare of animals as well as the safety of the public. 

If you own a dangerous wild animal (that has been classified as such under legislation) and keep it in the Maldon district, you will need a licence from the Council. 

When we have received an application, along with the relevant fee, an authorised officer of the Council will arrange a visit to check on the welfare of the animal and to ensure that the public are protected from harm. 

If everything is found to be satisfactory, a licence will be issued.

If you are aware that somebody owns a dangerous wild animal, but is not licensed and you think it should be, contact us
