Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Although Brigg haulier W H Martin was granted authority to double its fleet, local residents succeeded in getting environmental conditions imposed on the company's licence at a Hull public inquiry.

The company, which holds a natiuonal licence from Bigby Road, Brigg, had applied to add 10 vehicles and 15 trailers, giving it a total authorisation of 20 vehicles and 30 trailers. Five local residents made environmental representations against the application.

Peter Hewson, the residents' spokesman said that noise from the vehicles' engines disturbed them early in the morning. They also suffered nuisance in relation to smoke and smell arising from the burning of waste material on the site.

Director Alexander Bogan said that there was adequate room to accommodate 20 vehicles and 30 trailers at the company centre. A lot of the work was with outside contracts, however, with the vehicles remaining on site and, in practice, there were never normally more than four vehicles at the operating centre.

Granting the application, the North Eastern Deputy Licensing Authority Norman Moody imposed two conditions on the licence: engines of authorised vehicles must not be started or left idling before 07:00hrs; and no waste must be burnt when the wind was from the North or North West.
