Changes to your licence

You must request a variation to your licence if there are:

  • minor administrative changes (for example, changing the number, use or type of animals being exhibited)
  • major structural or operational changes for the business.

You will need to send your request in writing along with any supporting evidence to animal.control@gravesham.gov.uk

We will review your request and advise you of the fee, if you are happy to proceed we will email you a link to pay the fee online.

Once we have received your payment, we will contact you within 10 working days about your request.

Death of a licence holder

The personal representative of the licence holder must tell us us in writing of the death within 28 days. 

The personal representative will become the operator of the licensable activity for 3 months from the death of the former licence holder or until the licence expires, whichever is shorter. 

If you do not notify us within the timeframe, the licence will end 28 days following the death of the licence holder.
