Truas sharing a private road with residents are a "threat to personal safety" — this must be addressed before the IC will grant a licence.
AN OPERATOR has been refused permission to base 10 vehicles and six trailers at its distribution centre on road safety and environmental grounds, despite arguing that the site had been an authorised centre in the past.
Eastern Traffic Commissioner Geoffrey Simms heard that Irish-owned Montgomery Distributionhad reached agreement with residents to mitigate any adverse environmental affects at its site in Chalfont St Giles, Bucks.
No room to pass Traffic examiner Jerome Montgomery told a High Wycombe public inquiry that problems were being caused by artics entering the main A413 from the site. When turning left from the private road leading from the site, they encroached upon both sides of the single-carriageway road, creating a potential hazard," he added. "Two vehicles could not pass at that point. Despite warnings during a previous visit, the company continued to run vehicles from the site.
Barry Prior,for the company,said Paperstock House had been an authorised operating centre in the past and would continue to function as a retail distribution centre whatever the outcome of the application.The company would accept a condition to improve the entrance and exit.
Refusing the application, the TC said it was a "most unsuitable and potential I ■. dangerous A Shared use of roads was 'dangerous' entrance". Work to mitigate the danger must be done prior to the grant of a licence and not as a condition of that grant.
He decided there were considerable adverse environmental effects, as shown by the unau thorised use.These effects, especially the threat to safety because residents shared the private road with the company's vehicles, could not be resolved by conditions and undertakings. •
