CAMPAIGNING RESIDENTS who claimed their human rights were being breached have failed to have any restrictions placed on a haulier \ 30-vehicle 0-licence. Their allegations of excessive noise at its site were refuted by evidence from the local council.
Bristol-based Baylis Logistics was seeking a new licence for 30 vehicles and 50 trailers at the M62 Trading Estate. It had been formed from a previous company. Baylis Distribution, which held a licence for 34 vehicles and 51 trailers at the same site.
The application was opposed by neighbours concerned about noise nuisance, particularly at night.
Traffic examiner Roy Harrison told North-Eastern Traffic Commissioner Tom Macartney that there was background noise from the M62 at night. Two vehicles entered and one left between midnight and 3am. There was occasional movement within the operating centre but there was no revving of engines and reversing alarms had been deactivated. There was some noise caused by other vehicle movements on the estate, he added. However, following the use of a decibel meter, East Riding Yorkshire Council was satisfied that the noise level did not constitute a statutory nuisance.
Linda Edwards, a local resident, said she and her partner had been subject to constant noise from the yard for years. She claimed reversing bleepers were still being used and said that in one month there had been 147 vehicle movements between 6pm and llpm and 334 between lam and 7am.The operation breached World Health Organisation guidelines and breached their human rights, she said.
The TC expressed concern that reversing bleepers were being switched off in a working yard; director Nigel .Iury said they would look at the possibility of using white noise reversing bleepers.
They had made every effort by putting in quieter vehicles and forklift trucks.
