We registered the range as an explosive store (IIRC about £85 for three years) which then allowed up to 250 kg, and told him to do one.

Dealers might also face insurance complications and presumeably those located in city centres might find a registered explosive store more difficult.

None of this is new - only the re-classification of 777 as an explosive.
Kranks used to be able to store BP on the premises. They cannot do that anymore so something has changed apart from the re-classification of 777.

I'll ask them next time I go in.
