Paragraph 3 Control of dogs and poultry in protection zones and surveillance zones
The owner of any dog in a protection zone or a surveillance zone shall keep it under control by–
confining it in a dwellinghouse, kennel or other enclosure;
securing it to a fixed object by a collar and chain; or
accompanying it or ensuring that it is accompanied by a responsible person.
An inspector may seize any dog which is not kept under control in accordance with sub paragraph (1) and deal with it as if it was a dog seized under the powers conferred by section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 F1.
An inspector may, if the inspector considers any dog or poultry not to be under control, by notice served on the occupier of any premises where it is kept, require the occupier to keep such dog or poultry under control, or to confine it to the part of the premises specified in the notice.
