SURREY COUNTY Council has successfully objected loan operator's application to base its vehicle on a site restricted to showmen's vehicles. It had also objected on road safety grounds.
South-Eastern and Metropolitan Deputy Traffic Commissioner Christopher Heaps rejected the application by West Drayton-based3 Byrne & Sons to use the yard as an operating centre for its international licence for one vehicle.
The company had sought authority for a new operating centre at Axes Lane, Salfords, Redhill, and was opposed by Surrey County Council.
For the council, Pauline Knowles said the site formed part of a winter showman's ground for which planning permission had been granted for named families. A condition of that planning consent was that only trucks, trailers and stalls ancillary to the use of the site as showman's quarters should be parked in the yard and that occupation of the site should be restricted to members of the Showman's Guild of Great Britain.
The council also objected on highway grounds and produced a DVD showing that the firm's 32-tonne vehicle had difficulty not crossing the centre line of the carriageway when leaving the access road by turning left. It demon strated that no other Summary vehicle could enter the access road during such a manoeuvre.
The TC concluded that the site was unsuitable on highway grounds as well as taking account of the planning situation. In view of the strict conditions imposed by the planning authority the TC considered it would have been perverse to aIlow a non-showman to park a vehicle at the site.
