Traffic commissioner public inquiries
Objecting to a licence
Licence applications are made public. Objections can be made by certain public bodies and in some cases individuals.
Objections by public bodies
Bodies that can object to a licence application include:
- local and planning authorities
- the police
- some trade associations and trade unions
When a public body can object
A public body can object to a licence about the:
- professional competence of the operator or its transport manager
- operator바카라 사이트™s finances
- operator바카라 사이트™s reputation or fitness to hold a licence
- operator바카라 사이트™s arrangements for vehicle maintenance and drivers바카라 사이트™ hours
- operating centre바카라 사이트™s environmental standards and general conditions
Objections must be put in writing to the traffic commissioner within 21 days of a licence application being made public.
You can see the latest applications and traffic commissioner decisions in the regularly updated 바카라 사이트˜Applications and Decisions바카라 사이트™ guides for goods vehicles and the 바카라 사이트˜Notices and Proceedings바카라 사이트™ guides for public service vehicles (PSVs).
Read the guide on goods vehicle operator licensing for further information.
Objections by individuals (representations)
If a vehicle operator wants to add an operating centre to a licence or make changes to an existing centre, owners and residents of land nearby can object. This is called a 바카라 사이트˜representation바카라 사이트™.
However, representations must be about environmental issues, such as concern over noise, and only if they바카라 사이트™re going to affect the owner or resident바카라 사이트™s 바카라 사이트˜use or enjoyment바카라 사이트™ of the land.
