A PORTABLE toilet hire firm is planning to set up in business in Wellington.
A1 Loo Hire Ltd, which operates nationwide, wants to put up a single-storey industrial building at Westpark 26, at Chelston.
It has applied to Somerset Council for planning permission for the premises, which would feature a number of parking spaces.
The application says: "A1 Loo Hire Ltd...will use the site as an operational base for the storage, maintenance and distribution of portable toilets."
It adds: "It is anticipated that the proposed use will generate around six employees, including an office person, a yard person and four drivers.
"There will be very few visitors to the site.
"There is no effluent disposal associated with the proposed use.
"This is carried out at the location to which the portaloos have been taken to for use.
"The site is solely used as a base for storing and general maintenance of the toilets.
"The storage of portable toilets is always on open storage and empty of waste, for which there are no specific regulations, thereby falling within the same category as storage containers or portable
accommodation units."
