Why might my request be refused?

These are the some of the reasons we would probably refuse permission: 

  • the home, block and/or scheme is unsuitable for the type of animal requested 

  • there is evidence that the pet cannot be cared for 

  • ongoing anti-social behaviour  

  • the home is within a block of flats that has a communal area  

  • the animal listed in the Dangerous Dog Act 1991 or the Schedule of the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976  

  • pet permission was previously given but later withdrawn due to a breach of permission conditions or the contract.
