OWNER of South Lakes Wild Animal Park David Gill could be forced to take down a detached garage store after Barrow Borough Council's planning committee refused retrospective planning permission.

Mr Gill applied for planning permission after building the 15-metre by 4.5-metres garage, which is used to store vehicles used at the zoo.

Planners turned down the application as the garage stands above the skyline and is visible from an extensive area.

An enforcement notice is to be served to Mr Gill stating that he has to remove it, if no other agreement is reached with the council.
