Conditions
North Devon Council has chosen to adopt the model licence conditions compiled by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH). Local Government Regulation (LGR) has also provided tailored conditions for premises operating as ‘home boarders’. North Devon Council may choose to use these conditions where they are considered more appropriate:
- CIEH Guidance and Model Licence Conditions for Dog Boarding Establishments
