24 Dangerous dog licences—applications (1) An adult may apply to the registrar for a licence to keep a dangerous dog.
(2) An application must state— (a) the registration number of the dog; and (b) the premises where the applicant intends to keep the dog. (3) The registrar may waive any application fee for a licence to keep a dangerous dog if reasonably satisfied— (a) the dog was declared to be a dangerous dog only for the reason mentioned in section 22 (1) (a); and (b) if the dog is kept in accordance with a dangerous dog licence, it will not be an unacceptable risk to the safety of the public and other animals. (4) A fee determined under section 144 for an application for a licence to keep a dangerous dog declared under section 22 (1) (b) or (c) or section 22 (2) must be at least 10 times the application fee (if any) for registration of a dog under section 6.
