James Bolton Agricultural Contracting Ltd has submitted an application to vary its existing Goods Vehicle Operator’s Licence, aiming to increase its operational capacity at its Sticklinch base and to register a trailer storage facility at West Pennard, as revealed in a public notice published in the Mid Somerset Series and on the Public Notice Portal.
The company seeks approval to base three additional lorries at New Buildings Farm in Sticklinch and to designate The Meads in West Pennard as an operating centre for the storage of six trailers. It is important to note that no goods vehicles are proposed to be kept at The Meads itself.
Owners or occupiers of land, including buildings, near either operating centre, who believe their use or enjoyment of their property may be affected by this proposal, are invited to submit written representations.

To make a representation, individuals should write to the Traffic Commissioner at Quarry House, Quarry Hill, Leeds LS2 7UE, outlining their concerns. Copies of representations should also be sent to the applicant at James Bolton Agricultural Contracting Ltd, New Buildings Farm, Sticklinch, Glastonbury, Somerset BA6 8NA.
All representations must be received within 21 days from the date of the public notice; the exact deadline can be confirmed by checking the publication date on the Public Notice Portal.
Should approval be granted, the presence of three additional goods vehicles at Sticklinch may increase vehicle movements to and from New Buildings Farm. The formal registration of six trailers at The Meads will authorise trailer storage at that location, with no increase in lorries stationed there. Members of the community who have concerns or may be affected are encouraged to review the details carefully and consider submitting their views within the deadline.
Guidance on submitting representations, including who may object and what issues can be considered, is available through official government resources specifically relating to Goods Vehicle Operator’s Licence matters.
Further information can be accessed via the Public Notice Portal listing for this application.
Located just south of West Pennard within the Glastonbury area of Somerset, the two operating centres correspond to postcodes BA6 8NA for New Buildings Farm and BA6 8ND for The Meads.
