- Couple Dave and Mayu Phillips have secured planning permission from Pembrokeshire County Council to build an eco-home in rural Wales.
- Their plans include a 'low-impact' home where they intend to breed and consume guinea pigs , rabbits and pigeons for meat, alongside producing honey and walnuts, as part of a sustainable lifestyle.
- Mr Phillips clarified to the planning committee that the guinea pigs are a specific breed raised for meat, distinct from common pets, and are similar to breeding rabbits for consumption.
- The development is categorised as a 'One Planet Development', a Welsh planning policy designed to encourage sustainable living and working on rural land.
- The couple expressed their deep passion for the One Planet movement, aiming to contribute positively to the future by taking practical steps towards more sustainable living.
