Report of the Animal Licensing Manager  (report published on 7.10.22)

The Committee received a report from the Animal Licensing Manager to enable Members to assess the recent inspection of A and T Trained Dogs (trading as

Heronswood Canine Retreat), in relation to a renewal application for a “Selling Animals as Pets” Licence.

Whilst the press and public were excluded from the meeting the Monitoring Officer determined that there was a public interest in publishing the decision notice following the Licensing Committee’s consideration of the item.

Details of the individual case and the Chair’s summary of the decision are attached to the Minutes.

Decision of the Committee:

(1)             That Mr Jarousi’s renewal application for a Selling Animals as Pets Licence be approved with the licence at 2 stars and for a 1-year period.

(2)             That the application to vary the Boarding Kennels Licence be refused at this time with the decision to vary the Boarding Kennels Licence in respect of the maximum number of dogs permitted on the licence delegated to the Animal Licensing Manager upon him being satisfied that that the staffing ratio and evidence of qualifications/ competence is sufficient for the increase that is being requested.
