(i)

reduce the risk of oil escaping from the installation;

(ii)

contain any oil spillage likely to contaminate any water supply, groundwater, watercourse, drain or sewer; and

(iii)

permit any spill to be disposed of safely.

(b)

it allows the number of journeys by delivery vehicles to be minimised due to the volume of woody biomass fuel storage.
