• Pandoro was granted the late renewal of its Western Area licence without restriction, after objectors Northavon District Council failed to appear.
Pandoro had applied to renew an international licence for eight vehicles and 30 trailers, based at Two Pools Farm, Iron Acton. At the same inquiry, M J and C J Galpin were seeking the addition of two vehicles and trailers at the same operating centre and faced the same opposition.
Representor Martin Dron complained about litter being thrown over the fence into his garden and about Galpin's vehicles being parked in the entrance to the operating centre.
Western Licensing Authority Major-General John Carpenter was told that the Galpins had been instructed to park their Iron Acton: trailer interchange. vehicles close to the entrance, because that was where there were established user rights, though they would prefer to park deeper into the site.
For Pandoro, John Backhouse said that Iron Acton was purely a trailer interchange depot. All the maintenance was carried out at the Stoke-onTrent depot.
After the LA granted Galpin's application, with a condition specifying where the authorised vehicles were to be parked, Dron said he felt that it was a waste of time making representations about the Pandoro application.
