Replica Titanic may meet its iceberg at hands of council

THE future of a 100ft model of the Titanic built in a back garden is uncertain after officials demanded its owner obtain planning permission.
Maritime enthusiast Stan Fraser, 41, has spent six years building the scale replica of the vessel behind his Inverness home. But Highland Council has now warned Mr Fraser that the structure requires retrospective planning permission.
He said: "I'm worried that if I don't get planning permission all the hard work will be down the drain."
His version of the ill-fated liner, which sank in 1912 with the loss of 1,503 lives, has been a hit with walkers and cyclists of the canal towpath behind his home.
It features four smoke-belching funnels.
The father of five had also been planning to install a working foghorn and lights to twinkle from the portholes.
