Concerns had been raised about her taking a meerkat to the pub.
Former glamour model Marsh, 46, said trolls were behind much of the criticism of her sanctuary in Lindsell, Essex.
At a previous hearing, clips of screeching zoo lemurs were played to Chelmsford magistrates' court.
But Judge Christopher Williams dismissed the council's argument about the animals' noise.
He said Marsh was passionate about the care and treatment of the animals under her supervision.
The judge added: 'The decision by Uttlesford District Council was wrong and continues to be wrong. I allow the appeal.'
The former Page 3 girl has traded her hard-partying lifestyle for hands-on work at her own animal sanctuary in Essex.
In a recent interview with The Sun, Jodie referred to herself as a farm girl and a "mess".
In a further self-deprecating comment, she added that she was "fat but happier than ever".
Despite her contentment, she lives with "anxiety/depression, aches and pains" and is using CBD oil to improve her daily wellbeing.

The model-turned-bodybuilder- who put her huge country pile on the market last year - said: "You might recognise me as someone that used to be glamorous, sexy, a bodybuilder and everything else, but now I'm just a farm girl and I look a mess."

Vaseline can be used to keep rats away from gardens
Keeping them away in the first place can be difficult, but a pest control expert has shared a cheap hack that can make your property less appealing to them. While your first thought might be to put poison down, there are lots of ways you can keep rats away without harming them. The Sun reports that a pest control expert has shared a hack which costs £1.80 for a 50ml pot at Superdrug and will make rats think twice about entering your garden. Expert shares cheap hack to keep rats away from gardens Pest expert Marcus Mueller from Skedaddle shared that Vaseline can be used to keep rats away as it forms a slippery surface, making it harder for them to reach. He suggested adding Vaseline to garden fences so that rats find it difficult to enter your garden. Marcus added some further tips for homeowners, including cutting low-hanging tree branches. Native wild animals in the UK He said: 'Rats often enter gardens by climbing over fences [or] using low-hanging tree branches. You can deter rodents by properly maintaining the trees on your property. 'Trim back branches to keep rats from using them as highways. 'You should also collect and discard fallen fruit to prevent the rats from accessing an easy food source.' Really Wild Birdfood Co previously shared the Vaseline hack in 2022. It said that since rats look for food sources in our gardens, including bird feeders and tables, it's a good idea to use Vaseline to keep them away. You can do this by putting Vaseline on the pole of the bird feeding station to make it slippery and more difficult for rats to climb to the food source. It added that taller feeding stations are better as they make it more difficult for rats to climb compared to those that are at ground level. How to get rid of these common garden pests What to do if you've found rats in your house or garden To report a pest problem, the government website encourages you to get in touch with your council to see if they provide pest control services to get rid of rats. You can enter your postcode, and the website will match the postcode to a council and direct you to their website for more information. The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) recommends getting in touch with a professional pest management company that is a member of BPCA. Recommended reading: You'll need to enter your postcode and state whether your property is commercial or residential, and the service you'd like. Then, companies that are BPCA members and located in your area will be listed with contact details. The BPCA says all of its members have the correct insurance and use trained and qualified technicians. They all have to be audited to the British Standard in pest management EN 16636 and follow BPCA's Codes of Best Practice.

Wetherspoons fans devastated as ‘favourite' dip axed from menu
WETHERSPOONS has axed a popular dip leaving fans devastated. Sticky soy sauce has now permanently disappeared from the budget boozer's menu. 1 The Asian-inspired dip, which was often served with breast bites, was a popular choice amongst diners. Confused punters took to Reddit to find out where the beloved dish had gone. Writing in a thread one customer asked if anyone knew where the sauce had gone, adding they would be "devastated" if it was axed. Another person said: "Not very happy about it but its gone. So good with breast bites." The Sun reached out to Wetherspoons who confirmed the sauce was taken off menus on May 14. A spokesperson said: ' The company reviews its menus regularly and on occasion, some items will be taken off. 'This is the case with the sticky soy sauce." 'We appreciate that some customers will be disappointed and apologise to them.' The news will come as a blow to customers who in the past described the sauce as "the one". Another fan previously said they "lived" for the beloved liquid condiment. The Sun tries Wetherspoons' new menu It comes as the affordable chain has shaken up its menu in recent weeks. That includes it's famous £6.49 chicken bites, which are "temporarily unavailable" on menus across all pubs in the UK. The staple item featured 10 crispy chicken bites, chips and a bunch of sauces. Spoons has also cut steak, mixed grills and gammon from menus across the country in a cost-cutting shake-up. But it is not all bad news for punters as the chain has launched a range of new Gourmet Burgers. Spoons also launched a £2.99 breakfast deal in February, with customers able to get a breakfast muffin or small breakfast with soft or hot drink. MORE AXED MENU ITEMS Wetherspoons is not the only chain switching up its menus. Greggs recently axed its Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite in a blow to fans. A spokesperson for Greggs told The Sun the bite has been axed to make way for the new Roast Chicken Salad Roll, which launched in May. The Sun also exclusively revealed in May the chain had axed its Spicy Veg Curry Bake. How can I save money at Wetherspoons? PUB-GOERS love Wetherspoons for its competitive pricing and low-cost meals - but did you know there are more ways to save money? Senior consumer reporter Olivia Marshall explains how. Free refills - Buy a £1.50 tea, coffee or hot chocolate and you can get free refills. The deal is available all day, every day. Check a map - Prices can vary from one location the next, even those close to each other. So if you're planning a pint at a Spoons, it's worth popping in nearby pubs to see if you're settling in at the cheapest. Choose your day - Each night the pub chain runs certain food theme nights. For instance, every Thursday night is curry club, where diners can get a main meal and a drink for a set price cheaper than usual. Pick-up vouchers - Students can often pick up voucher books in their local near universities, which offer discounts on food and drink, so keep your eyes peeled. Get appy - The Wetherspoons app allows you to order and pay for your drink and food from your table - but you don't need to be in the pub to use it. Taking full advantage of this, cheeky customers have used social media to ask their friends and family to order them drinks. The app is free to download on the App Store or Google Play. Check the date - Every year, Spoons holds its Tax Equality Day to highlight the benefits of a permanently reduced tax bill for the pub industry. It usually takes place in September, and last year it fell on Thursday, September 14. As well as its 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons also holds a Spring Festival.
