They did not have planning permission for business use of the site.
A Nottinghamshire couple who illegally bred puppies in cramped kennels have been fined more than £3,000. Following complaints of illegal puppy breeding being made to Gedling Borough Council, officers investigated a business run by couple Michael Ogden, 51, and Andrea Ogden, 32, of Burntstump Hill, Arnold.
The pair later applied for a dog breeding licence, though this was refused as the kennels at the premises were too small and did not meet the legal requirements. Planning permission was then also sought to develop at the site, however this was refused due to the impact it would have on the greenbelt and the disruption that would be caused to nearby properties.
On March 28, the Ogdens pleaded guilty to breeding and selling dogs without a licence at Nottingham Magistrates' Court, leading to fines and costs totalling more than £3,500. Leader of Gedling Borough Council, councillor John Clarke, said: "The dog breeding licensing process is in place for a reason and we remain committed to ensuring this process is followed for the safety and well-being of our residents and animals.
