Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 - Application for a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver's Licence To consider the attached report of the Licensing Team Leader. Minutes: The Committee considered the report of the Licensing Team Leader on an application for a Joint Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver’s Licence. An enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service had shown previous convictions that were relevant to the decision as to the applicant’s suitability as a fit and proper person to hold a licence to drive a taxi in the Dover District.
Members offered the applicant the opportunity to present evidence concerning the circumstances surrounding the convictions and Members could ask further questions of the applicant.
In accordance with the approved procedure the Committee and the Contentious and Regulatory Lawyer withdrew to consider the application and upon returning it was
RESOLVED: (a) That, having regard to the evidence, the Committee considered that the applicant was a fit and proper person in accordance with Sections 51 and 59 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976, and that the application for a Joint Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licence be granted for an initial period of 11 months; and
(b) That, the Licensing Team Leader shall monitor and review the applicant’s progress; and
(c) That, providing there are no issues during the initial 11 months, the Licensing Team Leader will grant the licence for the remainder of the application period and without the matter having to be brought back before the Committee.
