Appeal a licensing decision
Use this service if we've declined your application for a primate licence and you don't agree with the outcome.
You must appeal within 21 days of receiving our decision.
Before you appeal
Before you appeal our decision you should speak to the inspecting officer who carried out your inspection. They'll be able to explain why your application was declined and suggest improvements you could make.
Appealing
If you've spoken to the inspecting officer and you still don't believe our decision is fair, you can formally appeal it.
To formally appeal our decision, you'll need to email our animal licensing team at animallicensing@swale.gov.uk. You'll need to include:
- the name of your premises
- the date your inspection took place
After you've appealed
Once we've received your formal appeal, we'll consider it and reply to you within 21 days, including bank holidays and weekends.
Your appeal will be considered by either the head of department, or a deputy they decide to appoint. Alternatively, your appeal may be considered by their equivalent in another council.
