• Western Licensing Authority Major-General John Carpenter has granted a licence to Fastimport of Penzance, despite objections from the owner of a nearby old people's home. But he has imposed several conditions.
The company had applied for a licence for eight vehicles and five trailers and promised that it would surrender a licence in the name of J Moon.
Dennis Yellop, owner of the Tolverth residential home, said that he had experienced problems as his property was next to the industrial estate. He had com plained to the police about a noisy lorry at 04:00hrs. He feared that the parking of LA Carp HGVs up against his boundary wall would create further noise and diesel fumes.
Managing director David Smith said that the car park was locked between 08:00 and 17: 00hrs; outside these times lorries had to park at the opposite end of the factory. He said that if his application was refused his vehicles would still have to go to the factory to load.
Imposing conditions on the licence, including banning vehicles from entering and leaving the car park before 08:00hrs and after 17:30hrs, and preventing engines running for more than four minutes after starting up.
Carpenter said that the conditions were designed to minimise the effect on the resi enter. dential home.
