Agenda item

The Sub-Committee considered a new application for a Hackney Carriage Vehicle licence.  The application was before the Sub-Committee as the application process had revealed a matter that fell outside the Council’s Licensing Policy.

After careful consideration of information from the Council’s Licensing Officer and representations from the applicant, the Sub-Committee agreed as follows:

Resolved:     That the application be considered as a new application and that the application be refused on the grounds that the vehicle did not meet the criteria as set out in the Council’s Policy.  The Sub-Committee did not see any reason to depart from the Policy.  In addition, it was felt that the driver was not a fit and proper person to hold a proprietor licence, as set out in legislation, failing to ensure that the vehicle was fully maintained.
