Agenda item

Consideration of an Application to be licensed as a Private Hire Driver

Minutes:

The Chair welcomed the Applicant to the meeting and introductions were made.

 

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director of Neighbourhoods and Climate Change to determine the suitability of the Applicant to hold a Private Hire Driver’s Licence following a number of convictions that had been highlighted on the Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate (for copy see file of minutes).

 

The Licensing Enforcement Officer presented the report and all parties were given the opportunity to ask questions of the Officer.

 

The Applicant was then invited to address the Sub-Committee and respond to questions from Members and Officers.

 

After all parties were given the opportunity to make a closing statement, the Sub-Committee retired to deliberate the matter in private, at 2.20pm.  After re-convening at 2.25pm, the Chair delivered the Sub-Committee’s decision.

 

Resolved:

That the Licence be granted.
