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 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
