• In a written judgment the Transport Tribunal has allowed the appeal by Purle Waste Disposal (South Eastern) Ltd. against the grant to Clearers (South East) Ltd. of a B licence for one vehicle (container handling unit), conditioned: for the carriage of industrial waste (excluding toxic waste and liquid waste) for disposal at tips within 10 miles for 10 named customers, and salvage for one named customer within 10 miles (CM April 25).
The LA, states the judgment, took the previous conduct of the respondent into account, observing that in all ordinary circumstances operations without a licence are sufficient to disqualify an applicant and that the respondent had continued to operate illegally in spite of warning. Nevertheless, he had come to the conclusion that it would be in the public interest to allow the respondent to operate under the protection of a licence.
The Tribunal finds the action of the LA too lenient and has allowed the appeal and vacated the grant.
