Environmental officers investigate waste water discharge from unauthorised caravan park

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) is investigating allegations of potentially polluting waste water discharges from the Grutness caravan park, which was built without planning permission. Sepa confirmed there are no authorised discharge points at the site and urged witnesses to report incidents. Questions have also been raised about the site's electricity supply, reportedly connected via a council-owned store. The development has been controversial since its start, with work carried out by Bam Nuttall under a separate agreement with a private landowner.
