tations from resi tations from resi dents living along the access to the operating centre of Spalding-based Clive Carter, have resulted in his international licence being renewed for five vehicles and trailers, instead of 10 vehicles and trailers, at a Spalding public inquiry before Eastern Licensing Authority Brigadier Compton Boyd.
Though accepting that none of the representors was affected by activity at the operating centre itself, Boyd said they lived along the approach road which brought them into the "vicinity" for the purpose of the legislation.
For Carter, Anton Balkitis said planning permission for the use of the site as a haulage yard and depot had been granted by South Holland District Council in 1979. In renewing the licence, Boyd said the environment had changed significantly since 1979.
There were many new houses along Eastgate, which was the only practical approach road to the depot. Accepting that Carter might operate for 24 hours a day, Boyd felt some control was needed.
