KENT operator who anged operating centre here the new environmental les for operator licensing fre introduced, but did not form the Licensing ithority, has been given sited authority to use the se.
South-Eastern Deputy LA an Mundy heard that Elaine d Roger Fagg, trading as Mereworth Distribution and Storage, moved from Mereworth to a base at East Farleigh near Maidstone in January 1984, but did not apply to alter their 0-licence until April 1985, 10 months after the new 0-licensing rules took effect.
Despite representations by residents opposed to the move, and an objection by Maidstone Borough Council, Mundy approved the change of operating centre, as it has been used as a fruit and vegetable distribution depot for several years.
But he considered that the site is not suitable for the increase in the lorry fleet sought in the application, from eight to 12 vehicles and from eight to 10 trailers.
