JeffersS13:
Someone I rent a lock-up to wants to park his lorry on my yard every night, I rent space to a couple of lads with old cars for a few quid/month.I own an old farm with more than enough space in the yard I have and I told him, no probs £15/week.
Is this allowed or do I need a licence or permit to allow him to park it?
A friend has told me that this means I need an Operators Licence?
No you do not need an O licence.
The operator is potentially at fault (if the authorities really care, 
) if his designated operating centre is his yard, but there is no comeback on you as far as I know.
I was out based for about 12 years parking my truck at home in a mates farm, but the truck was foreign registered and apparentlly that was legal and acceptable.
I also did the same driving for an Essex firm 300+ miles away from my home, and never had any comeback there either.
The only problem that could arise is if f some nosey busybody 2hat complains 
, but even then the onus will be on the operator of the truck.
