• More than 40 tippermen are moving closer to persuading council planners to lift a depot restriction which forces many of them to leave trucks parked outside their homes overnight.
Buckinghamshire County Council banned the tipper owners from parking at Bardon Roadstone's West Drayton site after 18:00hrs, after local residents complained about excessive noise (CM 15-21 September).
But the tipper owners hope the parking restriction could be lifted by January. Bardon Roadstone is carrying out a noise study to convince council planning officers that extending the depot's operating hours will not cause excessive noise. According to BCC's principal planning officer Ian Prosser, the council will look sympathetically at an application for an extension to 20:00hrs or 21:00hrs if the company can prove it will not disturb the residents.
Bardon Roadstone operations manager Mike Cowley says he is hopeful that the matter would be resolved within two months.
