fN a written decision, expedited I because there was work waiting to he carried out, the Metropolitan Licensing Authority has granted Annis and Co., Ltd.. one additional tractor unit of 44 tons and one trailer of the same unladen weight. These have been granted for the carriage of collars and kelleys, an indivisible load of exceptional length, but not abnormal.
During the hearing of the previous application, and before the Appeal Tribunal, it was stated by the applicant that all the work was the carriage of abnormal indivisible loads. It was now admitted that this was not so; the previous decision of the Authority was intended to reduce the number of abnormal indivisible loads carried. Had the Appeal Tribunal known that not all the work was the carriage of these loads it would not have granted three vehicles. says the decision.
By being fitted with oversize tyres, the tractor units previously concerned did not comply with the Construction and Use Regulations. The grant now made was a variation, it being suggeste4 that by fitting normal tyres, the vehicles would comply with the regulations.
