Operating Centre

After a bit of advice from you guys.
Looking at applying for operators licence for 1 HGV.
everything else in place but i have a question of operating centre, i am planning to have it on the family farm , plenty space, good access for the lorry, workshop for repairs , pit etc.
Query i have is that the farm is in a weight Limit, all be it a very quiet country road which weight limit is on to stop traffic using it as a short cut. will this be a problem with the powers that be that grant the licences, i live on the farm in question also

It all depends how well you get on with the locals, they Traffic commissar, might place a caveat which only allows you to enter and exit one way, even a curfew on times, If nobody objects then you should be happy days

get on well with neighbours all isolated and rural neighbours 6 houses in total on 2 mile road so will see.

Should be okay, until you unleash a full Tang spec 730, running pipes, and fridge box on defrost at 0300… :smiley: :smiley:

Traffic Commissioner may add an undertaking to your licence to allow you to operate vehicles only below the weight limit or take specific routes to enter/exit the Operating Centre. Objections from local residents or local authorities is another thing to consider.
I hope it goes well for you.
