New pet crematorium could cause 'psychological distress' and 'horrific odours', say objectors

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A new pet crematorium could cause “psychological distress” and “horrific odours” if it gets the green light, objectors have claimed.

Plans have been proposed for a crematorium and two cremators on Chanters Industrial Estate, in Atherton. However the scheme has led to a number of objections to the application, summitted by Mrs Natasha Frazer-Ormrod, from people living in the area around Arley Way - where the site is based.

Issues raised include a lack of notice, foul smells and emotional distress to the application from Mrs Frazer-Ormrod.

This will lead to psychological distress, knowing that the smell is due to the cremation from the death of a pet. “The tip is bad enough and is not monitored by the environmental agency.” Another objector said: “To open another business in the area which will create more pollution, noise and traffic is highly irresponsible and will drive local residents out of the area!” Several other residents believe the close proximity to Fred Longworth High School, a botanical gardens and a care home means this is the wrong place for veterinarians to use to cremate pets.
