Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Council failed to stop S. G. Greenwood (Builders) of Leigh-on-Sea, Essex from obtaining a restricted operator's licence for two vehicles at Chelmsford last week.

The main burden of the residents' case was disturbance to their peaceful environment and the risk of accidents to children and elderly pedestrians.

It was claimed that because of parked cars a goods vehicle would find difficulty moving in and out of the builders' yard. The residents further argued that grant of the licence would devalue their property.

Southend Council objected on the grounds that parking a vehicle in the builders' yard would be environmentally unacceptable.

Mr S. Greenwood and Mr M. Stone, for the company, told Deputy Licensing Authority Charles Arnold-Baker that the vheicle would move out of the yard at 8am and return at about 6pm each day. No maintenance would be carried out at the yard.

Greenwood's premises have been used as builders' premises for more than three years.

Mr Arnold-Baker granted the licence for 18 months, which is normal for a new applicant. He attached three conditions: • The vehicle will not be parked on the road.

• There will be no maintenance on the site.

• 50ft either side of the entry must be kept clear.
