Licensing Hearing - Taxi Report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services enclosed. Minutes: The purpose of the hearing was to determine whether a private hire vehicle driver’s licence should be granted. The hearing had previously been adjourned on 14 April 2023 to obtain further information regarding the nature of the Applicant’s previous conviction.
The Sub-Committee considered the report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services along with updating information provided by the Council’s Solicitor.
The Applicant attended the hearing and answered further questions that were put to him by the Sub-Committee surrounding his previous conviction.
The Sub-Committee, having taken account of all the submissions, written and verbal, the provisions of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 and the Council’s Statement of Policy and Guidelines on Relevant Convictions (“the Policy”), concluded that the Applicant was not a fit and proper person and that a licence should not be granted.
RESOLVED:
That the private hire driver’s licence application be refused.
