To consider an application for a Private Hire Drivers Licence.

The sub-committee considered a report on whether the applicant (Mr L) was “fit and proper” to hold a Private Hire Drivers Licence. The Acting Licensing Team Leader set out the details of the application including matters referred to as part of the Disclosure Barring Service check.

The Chairman confirmed to all present that the information that had been submitted after the agenda papers were published, had been circulated to the members of the sub-committee.

Members heard evidence and information from the applicant and his friend, who was in attendance to support Mr L. Following an opportunity for all parties to make their case, members asked questions of the applicant and the licensing officer. 

All parties were given an opportunity to sum up their case before the sub-committee withdrew to consider their decision.

The sub-committee adjourned for members to make their decision and on returning

Decision
