RESIDENTS have lodged strong objections to a Beverley. Humberside haulier's application for an international licence for 14 vehicles and 24 trailers.
Trevor Lunn already has a licence for 12 vehicles and 18 trailers operated from an operating centre at Brown's Yard, along with other firm's vehicles, but this is being taken over by T. B. Lunn (Transport), which sought the new licence.
Councillor Geoffrey Eastwood said the residents suffered front noise, fumes and vibration until after midnight and often after 4am.
The access from Brown's Yard on to the trunk road was poor and additional vehicles would increase traffic danger. The site was totally unacceptable as a heavy goods vehicle depot.
The value of the residents' properties had been affected adversely by the noise and nuisance. Many complaints had been made to the police.
Adjourning the hearing until December 11, North Eastern Deputy Licensing Authority, Norman Moody granted the company an interim licence for the 12 vehicles and 18 trailers presently authorised to Lunn.
