I saw this and thought it was interesting.
178. Regarding the exploration and appraisal of the BRX4Z side-track, the combined production operations, based on those approved under planning permission ref: MO06/1294 as well as this proposal, will result in no more than 24 HGV movements on any day. Further information submitted by the applicant in June 2018 confirmed that of

these, around 12 HGV movements will be associated with this proposal which includes the export of oil by road tanker. This is a worst case scenario as the applicant states that it is likely that the daily number will be significantly lower. It is noted that HGV movements to and from the site are authorised to take place 8.5 hours per day Mondays to Fridays and 5 hours per day on Saturdays. This indicates that the proposal would result in an average of no more than 1.5 HGV movements per hour, or an average of 3 movements per hour cumulatively when combined with the existing permitted operations at the site. These numbers of HGV movements are again not considered to be significant in transportation terms.
