Meeting: 04/02/2020 - Environment and Licensing Committee (Item 76)

Application for a one year Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Drivers Licence - AI

Report of the Director of Health and Community Wellbeing

Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report of the Director of Health and Community Wellbeing, which had been circulated prior to the meeting, regarding an application for a joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for AI.

 

AI attended the meeting and addressed the committee.

 

In making its decision, the Committee applied the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines.  On the basis of what it heard, the Committee was satisfied on balance that no exceptional circumstances existed which warranted departure from policy.

 

RESOLVED:

 

To refuse AI’s application for a Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence on the grounds that he is not a fit and proper person because he had not informed the Council of his convictions in 2018.

 

AI was advised of his right to appeal against the Decision Notice of the Committee.
