LOCAL AUTHORITY claims that a new operating centre would be dangerous have been overruled by South Eastern & Metropolitan Deputy Traffic Commissioner Christopher 'leaps.
Following a site visit the TC authorised Guildfordbased Stephen Wood to relocate his operating centre, subject to a number of conditions and undertakings. Wood. trading as Wood & Son, had applied to move his two-vehicle licence to Havering Farm, Sutton Green, Surrey. The move was opposed by Surrey County Council (SCC).
SCC's transportation development control officer Gregory Devine maintained that danger would be caused by heavy vehicles entering and leaving the access road to the site at its junction with the A320. He did not consider that a bend in the access road was wide enough for two vehicles to pass,which could lead to vehicles queuing back to the A320.
Wood said he operated one 23-tonner and a 7.5tonne" The one accident at the junction had not been caused by an LG V but by a motorcyclist making a U-turn.
Granting the application following his visit, the DTC imposed a condition that authorised vehicles may not exceed 10m in length. He required undertakings that authorised vehicles leave the operating centre in forward gear and by turning left at the junction with the A320; that they enter in forward gear by turning right into the access road from the A320: and that Wood ensured the landowner cleared the shrubs and undergrowth on the inside of the bend.
