Decision |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
07/15 |
Application for a new Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licence |
Grant a licence for the normal term of 12 months on the grounds that, although the vehicle does not meet the Council’s specification for such vehicles, the Sub-Committee considers that the applicant has shown that disabled passengers can be carried securely and thus warrants a departure from the current policy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
08/15 |
Application for a new Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver’s Licence |
Refuse to grant a licence on the grounds that the Sub-Committee does not consider the applicant to be a fit and proper person to hold a licence in the light of the serious nature of the offences and convictions now reported and the responses provided to the questions raised. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
03/15 |
Application for a new Private Hire Vehicle Licence |
In the light of the circumstances of the case, and based on the evidence provided by the applicant, the Sub-Committee agreed to grant a licence until 9th September, 2015, at which date the vehicle is nine years old, the maximum age for private hire vehicles under the current policy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
09/15 |
Application for a new Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver’s Licence |
Grant a licence for the normal term of nine months and, on the first renewal, authority be given to grant the applicant a 12 month licence and, on any subsequent renewals, an 18 month licence, subject to there being no further cause for concern. |
