Operators who dismantle vehicles to salvage the parts will need to register their business with the Local Authority.  When considering an application the Council must be satisfied that the applicant is a ‘fit and proper person’ to carry out the business of a Motor Salvage Operator.

The Act requires local Councils to establish and maintain a register of people carrying on a  business as a Motor Salvage Operator in their area.  The register must contain prescribed information and a fee is chargeable for registration or renewal (see fees).  Each registration will be valid for a period of three years.

For further information and a preliminary discussion to ascertain whether an application is required please contact The Licensing Section on 01623 457589,  alternatively you can e-mail us at licensing@ashfield-dc.gov.uk

What happens after registration?

Full details of the registration will be in a register held by the Council and this is open to public inspection. A certificate and letter of registration will be issued by the Council and must be kept safe as this is open to inspection by the Police who can visit the premises at any reasonable time to inspect any and all documentation, records, etc, that you need to keep. These records must be kept up to date by you.

If any details change as regards the business, the Council must be notified within 28 days of the changes occurring.

Can I appeal if I am refused registration?

Section 6 of the Act allows for appeals to be made against a Local Authority's decision to refuse registration, refuse renewal of registration and cancellation of registration. An appeal must be made by the applicant within 21 days beginning on the date the local authority served notice of refusal. The appeal is to the Magistrates Court in accordance with the Magistrates Courts Act 1980.
