Commentary on provisions of the Act Part 1: Conditions Condition relating to road transport
Under paragraph 6, if the relevant authority (which is the county council in a non-unitary area) is a qualifying authority, it has some control over the routes by which large goods vehicles travel by road to and from working, storage and waste disposal sites. Paragraph 6(4) provides that this does not apply to transport on trunk roads or motorways, nor to sites which have less than 24 large goods vehicle movements a day. The paragraph also sets out the grounds on which approval can be refused or conditions applied. Under paragraph 6(6), conditions require the agreement of the nominated undertaker.
