Licence fee information
Application fee
The application fee covers the application and administrative process, as well as the licence inspection. This fee is payable prior to us carrying out an inspection of your premises. This fee is non refundable should your application be refused or if you do not meet the required conditions of the licence following the inspection.
Grant fee
The grant fee covers all associated enforcement costs and includes any unannounced compliance visits during the licence period. This fee is payable after your licence inspection and prior to your licence being granted.
Additional veterinary fees
Additional veterinary fees will be added as part of the grant fee, if necessary at the time of inspection (as per the horse riding establishments), or will be recoverable following the visit at any other time.
