Inquire about manure management regulations

Solution

Specifically ask local authorities (planning or health department) about rules for storing and disposing of animal waste.

Explanation

Accumulated manure can cause odor issues and attract pests, leading to public health or nuisance complaints. There may be regulations on how often enclosures must be cleaned, how manure must be stored (e.g., covered bins), and methods of disposal (e.g., composting requirements, limits on spreading).

Notes

Proper composting can turn waste into a valuable resource but needs to be managed correctly to avoid issues.
