Fishing Permits
Please note that we have issued our full allocation of permits for the current season.
We will accept applications for next season from 1 May 2009.
Hatch pond on the Nuffield Industrial Estate is a Local Nature Reserve and as such this sanctuary is primarily managed for its wildlife. However, the Council does permit a limited number of fishing permits (no more than 70 per annum). Permits are issued by Leisure Services (no fishing is permitted during the close season - 15 March to 15 June inclusive).
You are able to apply for a permit after the 1st May for the following season by downloading, completing and posting back the form attached to this page along with the items listed below to the address at the bottom of this page. Please note we are unable to accept an application by e-mail, as the relevant items below, along with your signature are required.
If you are unable to print the application form please ring our Customers Services help desk on 01202 265265 or e-mail leisure@poole.gov.uk and ask to be posted a form.
Items to be submitted with the completed application form include the following:
- Passport sized photo of applicant
- Photocopy of applicant's National Rod Licence
- Payment
It is important that Leisure Services receive all these items to be able to process your application. If all is correct a permit will be issued by post from Leisure Services.
Please note that you must read and abide by the conditions of use, (these follow on from the application form attached to this page) each year you apply as they are occasionally amended. Borough of Poole reserves the right to withdraw permission to fish from anyone not abiding by these conditions.
The permit fee is £17:00 for adults, £12:00 for disabled and £4:00 for under 16's.
