Number of licenses to exhibit animals under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) 2018 Regulations

The request was successful.

Dear Lewes District Council,

I am a MSc Animal Welfare Science, Ethics and Law student at the University of Winchester. As part of my dissertation, I am looking at how many licenses under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) 2018 Regulations for the exhibition of animals have been issued in England. To gain this information I must make a Freedom of Information request.
I would like to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (2000). I would like information on licenses to exhibit animals under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) 2018 Regulations ONLY, issued by the Council.
Can I please request information on:

1. How many licenses are currently issued to exhibit animals under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) 2018 Regulations in your council?

2. A list of the species of animal that are included in the licenses, and how many of each species.

Yours faithfully,
Jennifer Barnes

I trust that this deals with your enquiry to your satisfaction, but if you
feel that Lewes District Council has misunderstood or not responded
appropriately to your request, you have two courses of action:

 

o You can clarify the terms of your original request to allow this to be
looked at again (if you expand your request this will be dealt with as
a new request)
o All applicants have a ‘right of review’. A review should be focused on
the original request and should identify how the council has dealt
incorrectly with your Information Request. Reviews must be made in
writing (or e-mail) within 40 working days of receipt of this response
and addressed to the Information Governance Reviews Officer, to the
address below.
