The Licensing and Regulatory Committee considered an application for a Private Hire Vehicle Licence extension for a LDV Maxus Minibus vehicle registration S16 EXC.

The Committee noted the information provided by way of the report and heard representations from the Applicant. In particular it noted that the vehicle’s MOT certificate (with no advisories) expires in April 2022, and the vehicle had passed its annual taxi inspection test on 18 October 2021 with no advisories.

The Committee was satisfied that the vehicle was in a good and sound condition and that public safety would not be compromised by the granting of the licence sought.

Decision

Accordingly, the Licensing and Regulatory Committee granted the Private Hire Vehicle Licence Extension as detailed in the report subject to the condition that the vehicle undergoes six monthly vehicle inspection tests due to the age and recorded mileage of the vehicle.

The Licensing Manager presented the report to the committee and answered Member’s questions relating to online advertising and the safety of children.

Members thanked the Licensing team for the work done to put the report together.

It was proposed and seconded that the amended Statement of Principles be referred to Full Council for approval and,

RESOLVED that the amended Statement of Principles be referred to Full Council for approval.
