decision following environmental objections to an application for a new international licence by Noel and Margaret Buttercase, trading as Mount Trucking of Cupar.
The partners had applied for a licence for four vehicles and six trailers with alternate operating centres at Mount Farm and Parbroath Farm. There were representations from people living along the access lane to Parbroath Farm and from a couple whose cottage was within the farm yard, who complained about dirt and spray getting on their washing when vehicles were cleaned. The other representors maintained that the junction with the access lane with the main Kircaldy/Dundee Road, one of the busiest in Fife, was unsuitable. They also alleged that heavy vehicles were damaging the foundations of their houses.
Noel Buttercase said the application was necessary as he had decided to take his wife into partnership, having previously held a licence in his own name.
