Aslam Transport of Sheffield
• ALTHOUGH the only person making representations on environmental grounds, against a new licence application by Mohammed Aslam, trading as Aslam Transport, failed to attend a Sheffield public inquiry, North Eastern Deputy LA Brian Horner imposed a condition on the licence restricting the hours of operation.
Aslam had applied for anew national licence for 11 vehicles and four trailers, following the break-up of his partnership with I3 Ahmed, which had traded from the same premises in Earl Marshal Road in the name of B & A Haulage. The application was in exactly the same terms as the partnership licence.
For Aslam, Diana Wragg said that the representor, Mr A M Farrel-, had been complaining about B & A and Aslam since 1984. In 1984, following complaints from Farrer, the local authority served an enforcement notice under the Control of Pollution Act in regard to noise.
The partners appealed to Sheffield magistrates, who in effect ruled that the notice served was unreasonable in extent. They varied the conditions, limiting vehicles to entering and leaving the premises between 0600 and 2100 hours only.
There was no suggestion, said Wragg, that the condition imposed by the magistrates had ever been breached.
In reply to the DLA. Aslam said he would be prepared to accept the magistrates' order has a condition on the licence.
Granting the licence with a condition incorporating that imposed by the magistrates, Horner said that it was significant that the representor had seen fit not to appear.
