'Back garden' pet food business gets planning approval

The owners of a pet food supply business near Dundee in Scotland have received retrospective planning permission for a shipping container to store products in their back garden.

 

Craig and Alison Smith have been using the wooden clad container for the past year, storing pet food before delivering to their online customers.

 

But some neighbours raised concerns that a container full of pet food could attract rats and mice plus a possible increase in passing traffic.

 

Alison Smith told councillors they had placed traps beneath the container but had found no evidence of mice and rats. “It is a second hand container and it has been in place for a year. We have had absolutely no problems with pest control at all,” she said.

 

Angus Council’s Development Standards Committee voted on Tuesday to approve the plan after planners recommended a conditional approval.
