The Sub-Committee was informed that the application fell within the Council’s policy for determination by the Sub-Committee. Accordingly the hearing had been convened to enable the Sub-Committee to determine whether the application for a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence should be granted.
The applicant attended the hearing and made representations in respect of the application.
After a full hearing of the application, and in accordance with the rules of procedure, the Chairman of the Sub-Committee reported that, after taking account of all the evidence, including the oral representations of the applicant, the following course of action had been agreed.
RESOLVED – That the applicant is a fit and proper person to hold a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence. However, the licence is granted for an initial probationary period of twelve months, to allow the applicant to demonstrate that he continued to be a fit and proper person to hold a hackney carriage/private hire drivers licence. At the conclusion of this twelve month period the applicant will be required to supply a reference to the Licensing Section from his employer in relation to his work as a licensed driver and to sign a declaration in relation to convictions or pending prosecutions. Should this reference be satisfactory and he has received no further convictions, he will be permitted to continue with the remaining two years of the licence, without the need to reapply or to appear before the General Licensing Sub-Committee.
