the consultants noted most of the vehicles would be going into the yard and coming out in a continuous route to minimize the need to back up vehicles would drive right into buildings to pick up loads of salt and sand the property is much larger than the six acres needed for the yard the audi ence was told by the consultants the front of the property will be landscaped so the operations centre is largely shield ed from view berms on either side will lessen noise and pollution there will be greenspace for a large number of mini soccer pitches oil grit and grease will be taken out of the water
