• Local residents have blocked a South Wales haulier's plans to move his operating centre, following the sale of the operating centre he has been using for the past 16 years.
Philip Husband had applied to change the operating centre from Grove Farm, Llantarnam, to Greencourt Farm, Henllys, Cwmbran, while at the same time reducing the authorisation from six vehicles to four. Representations were made by residents of the neighbouring Pentre Close and the occupiers of the farmhouse.
Husband told LA John Mervyn Pugh that Grove Farm had already been sold and that he was already operating from Greencourt Farm, which was owned by his cousin. He was not making a lot of money and he was anxious to avoid a large outlay. He was not paying any rent at the moment and his cousin had said that he could use the farm as a centre for as long as he liked.
Donald Miles, who bought the Greencourt farmhouse in July 1986, said that in October or November three or four lorries began using the site, creating problems from noise, diesel fumes and rubbish dumped from the vehicles.
For Husband, Norman Lloyd Edwards said Mr and Mrs Miles had bought the farmhouse knowing the farm was used for the storage of plant. He did not believe that they were totally surprised when the site began to be used by heavy goods vehicles.
Refusing the application, Mervyn Pugh said that he was satisfied from the evidence that he had heard that the site was unsuitable as an operating centre on environmental grounds.
