Telford Exotic Zoo gets go-ahead to open new wildlife attraction at town park
Plans for a new wildlife attraction at Telford Town Park have been granted the go-ahead.
Exotic Zoo closed the public side of its site in Priorslee earlier this year.
Following a planning application, permission has been granted for the attraction to create a new wildlife park in the heart of Telford Town Park, on land adjacent to the Dark Lane car park.
Development of the new site will include alterations to an existing barn building, and the erection of a reception building, a staff area building, a classroom building, two toilet blocks, a museum building, a desert area enclosure, and a nocturnal enclosure.
Speaking earlier this year when the possibility of the new site was announced, zoo director Scott Adams said: “The zoo’s ethos always aimed to be a local attraction for the benefit of Telford and its community.
