Consultations
When a decision is likely to affect individuals, businesses or organisations, the council seeks their views before taking the decision.
Where the decision is likely to have an impact on the general public, a special consultation process is held to gather the views of the community. The consultation may take the form of a questionnaire, public meetings, exhibitions, posters or all of these, depending on the issue.
We regularly carry out consultation exercises before taking decisions on council services and strategies - here you can find out information on current consultations.
A direct feedback form is included in each consultation.
Animal Licensing Policy
High Peak Borough Council are keen to hear your views on the draft Animal Licensing policy which is currently under consultation.
The council is the authorised authority for issuing licences under the Licensing of Activities Involving Animals Regulations 2018.
The draft policy has been prepared in accordance with statutory guidance for the licensing of animals under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 and The Animals (Penalty Notices) (England) Regulations 2023.
It also adheres to the guidance and provisions of the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 and the Zoo Licensing Act 1981.
Please make sure you read the draft policy below before commenting.
