Scottish Borders Council Approves Seafood Company's Self-Storage Containers Amid Local Concerns
The Scottish Borders Council has approved a proposal by D.R. Collin & Son Ltd, a seafood company, to establish a compound for 53 self-storage containers at a former training center on Coldingham Road Industrial Estate. Despite objections from local residents regarding potential issues such as increased traffic, noise, and the impact on the area's character, the council's planning officer, Paul Duncan, deemed the development to be of low impact. The approval includes conditions for an operating plan to manage the site effectively, with operating hours set from 8 am to 6 pm. The containers are intended solely for storage purposes, and the development is expected to coexist with neighboring business and industrial uses without significant amenity issues.
