Wigan’s first pet crematorium will be built despite concerns from neighbours, after the council gave the plans the green light.
After several residents near the Chanters Industrial Estate in Atherton opposed the plans due to potential “psychological distress” and “horrific odours”, the planning committee found no reason to refuse the application.
Meeting on April 11 in Wigan Town Hall, the committee gave the applicant, Mrs Natasha Frazer-Ormrod, permission to change the use of the site on Arley Way from a car storage and sales facility to a crematorium.
