Section 1 – Applications Received Inspection of licence applications can be requested under the provisions of Regulation 9 of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Regulations 1995 by anybody who holds statutory objector status. Applications may be inspected free of charge at the Office of the Traffic Commissioner in Leeds by any person who carries written authorisation to act in that capacity. Objections against published applications may be made in writing by a Chief Officer of Police, a local authority, a planning authority or a prescribed trade union or association within 21 days of the date on which notice of an application is published in Applications and Decisions. Objections must be made either on the grounds that any of the requirements listed in Section 13 of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 are not met and/or that a nominated operating centre will be unsuitable for use as such. A copy of the objection must be sent by the objector to the applicant at the same time that it is sent to the Traffic Commissioner. The onus of proof in terms of the grounds on which an objection is lodged lies with the objector. You may fax a copy of your objection to 0113 2488521 but please note that you must send the original signed document through the post. Classification of Operator Licences – There are three classes of licence:

A Restricted (R) licence authorises the use of a goods vehicle on public roads in Great Britain for the carriage of the licence holder’s own goods in the course of his trade or business. The licence holder cannot carry goods for other people for hire or reward;

A Standard National (SN) licence allows the licence holder to carry both his own goods and goods for other people for hire or reward, on public roads in Great Britain. He can also carry his own goods on journeys abroad;

A Standard International (SI) licence allows the licence holder to carry both his own goods and goods for other people for hire or reward. These activities can be undertaken both in Great Britain and on international journeys.

Section 2.4 – Variation Applications Refused No entries

Section 3 – Schedule 4 Applications Schedule 4 to the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 allows, in certain situations, the transfer of operating centres from one existing licence to either another existing licence or as part of a new licence application. A range of qualifying criteria has to be met, with approval at the Traffic Commissioner’s discretion. An important consideration in the process is any environmental history relating to the subject operating centre or any potentially adverse environmental impact resulting from the transfer. Legislation prevents any statutory objection against the Schedule 4 element of an application. New Applications (Section 3.1): where the Traffic Commissioner has given a direction that the provisions of paragraph 2 of Schedule 4 shall apply, objections may only be lodged against the published application under Section 12(1)(a) of the 1995 Act, disregarding the suitability of the operating centre for use as such by the applicant as set out in Section 13(5)(d) of the Act. Variation Applications (Section 3.2): where the Traffic Commissioner has given a direction that the provisions of paragraph 4 of Schedule 4 shall apply, objections may again only be lodged against the published application under Section 12(1)(a) of the 1995 Act unless that transfer can be accommodated without any overall increase in the existing overall vehicle/trailer authorisation on the receiving licence, in which case there is no statutory requirement to publish details of that application. However, Section 3.3 does detail any such applications in order that interested parties are made aware of changes to authorised operators at listed operating centres

These reports must show mileage driven over the period 1 February 2019 to 30 September 2019. If those reports show no or minimal mileage driven over that period, I will grant the full licence.

He may regain his repute if he retakes and passes the transport manager CPC exam. I am giving the operator a period of grace until 31 March 2020 in which to make nominate a new transport manager (which could be Mr Bates if he re-established his repute by then). If no valid nomination has been received by this date the licence will be revoked under Section 27(1)(a) of the 1995 Act without a further public inquiry. The following undertakings have been added to the licence: a) the specified vehicle will be given laden roller brake tests at least every 12 weeks, with records kept for 15 months; b) by 15 January 2020, the operator will provide evidence of financial standing for its one vehicle which must show the sum of £8000 available to the company on average (and in the company’s name) over the period 1 October 2019 to 31 December 2019. If financial standing cannot be demonstrated the licence will be revoked at that point under Section 27(1)(a) of the 1995 Act without a further public inquiry.

Under Section 26(6) of the 1995 Act, I direct that the specified vehicles may not be used under any operator’s licence during the period of suspension. Transport manager Mark Williams retains his repute. The reasons for the suspension are: i) that the operator has failed to fulfil its undertaking to ensure the lawful driving of vehicles. A driver regularly drove an 18 tonne vehicle while having only C1 entitlement. Further, an agency driver drove a vehicle on three days while he was disqualified from all driving. The operator’s systems for checking driving entitlement were simply inadequate, although I accept that new, satisfactory, procedures have since been introduced; ii) the operator failed to fulfil its undertaking to ensure that vehicles were securely loaded. There have been two prohibitions in the past 18 months for insecure loads. I accept that the operator has taken measures to ensure that the above shortcomings are not repeated. Nevertheless, they should not have occurred in the first place. The failure to ensure that drivers possessed the necessary entitlement before starting to drive was a particularly serious omission. Because the operator has taken effective action to address these issues, including better procedures and training for drivers and transport manager, I consider that revocation and loss of the transport manager’s repute would be disproportionate in this case. However, the use of drivers to drive a vehicle without a valid driving entitlement is a most serious infringement as defined by EU Regulation 1071/2009 and cannot be dealt with in this case by way of a warning. I am therefore imposing a short period of suspension and, by giving 11 weeks notice before it comes into effect, am giving the operator the opportunity to make alternative arrangements during that period.
