When deciding a site's environmental suitability a TC must consider:
III The nature and use of other land in the vicinity;
• The environmental effects of the grant of the application; • The existence of planning permission for the land in the vicinity; • The number, type and size of the authorised vehicles which will use the site; • The parking arrangements for the authorised vehicles; • The nature and times of use of the site; • The nature and times of use of equipment at the site; • The number of vehicles leaving and entering the site, and the frequency of these movements.
Environmental conditions can be imposed to prevent or minimise the site's adverse environmental effects. The TC has power over: • The number, type and size of authorised vehicles using the site; • Parking arrangements at the site or in its vicinity; • The times when the operating centre is used for the maintenance or movement of authorised vehicles; • How those vehicles enter and leave the site.
When considering road safety around a site the TC will consider: • Access to and from the site; • Any danger to other road users, including pedestrians; • If authorised vehicles can leave and enter the site without reversing in either direction.
Although the site might be suitable for parking, if there are road safety implications the TC can impose conditions to minimise the dangers of using the site, typically by reducing the size of vehicles and their times of operation.
The TC cannot control vehicles which are not authorised on the licence, such as vehicles which are visiting the site.
