PUBLIC notices cover a range of applications, ranging from licensing applications for liqueur or entertainment to planning applications, roadworks and other works. Their intention is to inform communities of the latest plans in their area and such applications are considered for approval or refusal by local authorities. Here are some of the latest applications submitted to Cornwall Council in North Cornwall and Torridge District Council in Torridge.

AN aggregate products retailer has applied to the Traffic Commissioner seeking an amendment to an existing heavy goods vehicle operator licence.

It is seeking permission to site an additional six vehicles and five trailers at its existing operating centre on Andigestion Lane, Chilsworthy, Holsworthy.

A goods vehicle operator's licence (often called an 'O' licence) is a legal requirement in the UK for businesses using trucks, lorries, or vans over 3.5 tonnes (3,500kg) gross plated weight — or over 1,525kg unladen.

It authorises specific sites as operating centres, ensuring vehicles do not disturb local residents, have safe access, and are properly maintained.

The notice reads: “West Country Concrete Products Ltd of Andigestion Lane, Chilsworthy, Holsworthy, Devon EX22 7HH is applying to change an existing licence as follows: To keep an extra 6 vehicles and 5 trailers at the operating centre at Andigestion Lane, Chilsworthy, Holsworthy, Devon EX22 7HH.

“Owners or occupiers of land (including buildings) near the operating centres who believe that their use or enjoyment of that land would be affected, should make written representations to the Traffic Commissioner at Quarry House, Quarry Hill, Leeds, LS2 7UE stating their reasons.

“Representors must at the same time send a copy of their representations to the applicant at the trading address listed.”

The deadline to do so is April 21, 2026.
