A motocross track organiser is calling for a change in planning restrictions to enable it to expand business.
Dunstable Motocross, which has a site in Billington Road, Stanbridge, wants to operate the track all year round and boost the number of riders using the course at any one time from seven to 30.
The site opened in 1995 and strict rules were imposed to limit its use to prevent noise nuisance. Now organiser Steve Brooks is looking to vary the conditions after, he claims, improvements have taken place within the industry.
He has applied to Central Beds Council to run the track throughout the year, arguing that during winter weather neighbours would be less likely to have windows open or use their gardens, and to alter session times to accommodate training, practice and corporate days.
He is also asking to increase the number of bikes on the track.
