LRF & ET Heyes - the partnership behind the aMazing Hedge Puzzle, Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo, and Wye Valley Miniature Golf - have announced plans to open a new zoo at Jubilee Park in Whitchurch, Ross-on-Wye.

The developers submitted a formal notice of intent to Herefordshire Council, starting the official licensing process under the Zoo Licensing Act 1981. This application marks the first step in bringing a new wildlife attraction to the local area.

The full proposal, which details the plans for the prospective zoo, is currently available for public viewing. Residents can inspect the document free of charge at the Herefordshire Council offices on Plough Lane in Hereford during regular business hours.

Members of the public who wish to share their views have 28 days from the publication of the notice to submit written comments to the council's licensing department. All submissions must state clear grounds for feedback and will be treated as public, non-confidential records.
