Vetinary fees

You will be charged for the veterinary inspection costs and the administration for authorising and arranging the vet.

Veterinary inspections are required for dog breeding and hire of horses and an administration fee is included in the 'basic' component of the application fee.  Where additional veterinary inspections are required on these premises an additional administration fee will be added.

Additonal vet inspections may be required following a request by an inspecting officer. Where this occurs, a vet will be appointed by the council and you will be recharged for the veterinary inspection costs and an administration fee.

Supplementary fee

This fee is only applied where an inspection takes longer than expected, where additional inspections are required or where extensive follow-up is needed. It is payable at an hourly rate of £87.46 per hour. Where a supplementary fee is to be applied we will inform you as soon as we become aware of the extended time requirements of the application.
