It grants refuse collector permission to corn Dine sites, but restricts operating hours and asks for undertakings, reports Mike Jewell.
)ESPITE OBJECTIONS by residents, a bid )y refuse collector Onyx UK to combine two iperating centres in Bromley has succeeded, .ubject to a series of proposed environmental :onditions and undertakings.
The company,which holds a refuse collection :ontract with the London Borough of Bromley, tad applied to close its operating centres for 35 vehicles at the Baths Road depot and for eight vehicles and eight trailers at Waldo load, and replace them with a :ombination of the two with an uthorisation of 77 vehicles and 4 trailers, The Baths Road depot vas the subject of a number of enironmental conditions but Waldo toad was not.
Six representations were .eceived from neighbouring resilents against the application.They were concerned about traffic jams, 'umes and the hours of operation.
For the company. Malcolm vl.arsh told the South Eastern & vletropolitan Traffic Commisioner Christopher Heaps that tn application for additional reticles at Waldo Road had been withdrawn in 2002 because of he number of representations. vlore vehicles were now required o meet Onyx's obligations to 3romley. The reduced number of -epresentations compared with 1102 showed that the manage ment of the site and the company's subcontractors had improved, as had communication with local residents.
Company representative Keith Riley said the contract linked refuse collection with disposal and recycling and imposed Bromley's statutory obligations on the company. The conditions of the waste management licence,which restricted the hours of operation,might not be relevant to the site as a whole and in any event there v no condition prohibiting loaded vehicles fr( leaving at any time.
The TC said the residents accepted tl they would be disturbed by waste operatic during the hours permitted by the Wa Management Licence, but had request that conditions be imposed so that they wt not further disturbed by vehicle movemei outside those hours. That did r seem an unreasonable request.
The conditions proposed by TC include: • Authorised vehicles shall I operate at, to or from the site, otl than between 6.30am-6.301 Monday to Friday; 7am-5pm Sat days.;7.30arn-3pm Sunday and put holidays.
• Except in case of emergency mir repairs, authorised vehicles shall be maintained or repaired at the s other than between 6.30ana-6.301 Monday to Friday and 7.30a 12.30pm Saturdays.
• Except in the case of emerger minor repairs, trailers shall not maintained or repaired at the site.
• Restrict ions on artics using a spc lied entrance.
The undertakings asked for by 1 TC included the erection of barrit the sheeting of waste on the comi ny's vehicles and wherever possil on subcontractors vehicles. II
