Hackney Carriage Proprietor's Licence Renewal - Mr K. Hassan PDF 70 KB Minutes: The
Committee was asked to determine an application to renew Hackney Carriage
proprietor’s licence HV114 where the licence had expired. Members
received the circulated report and noted that the Applicant had failed to renew
the Hackney Carriage vehicle licence despite being sent a reminder from the
Licensing Section. The application to
renew the licence had been made 8 days after the licence expired. The
applicant was present at the meeting to give his representation. (At
this point of the meeting Councillor Freeguard made a Declaration of Interest
and left the meeting, having taken no part in the discussion thereon). RESOLVED: that the
Hackney Carriage Proprietor’s vehicle licence in relation to Mr. K.Hassan, was not capable of being renewed as the Committee
did not consider that there were exceptional circumstances that would warrant
its renewal. |

New Hackney Carriage Proprietors Licence - Mr K. Hassan PDF 70 KB Minutes: Members received the circulated report and
noted that the Applicant had failed to renew the Hackney Carriage vehicle
licence HV114 despite being sent a reminder from the Licensing Section. As a consequence
of not renewing the vehicle licence the Applicant was required to apply for a
new Hackney Carriage vehicle licence for the vehicle which was previously
licenced under number HV114. Applications for the grant of a new vehicle
licence are normally required to comply with the requirement of the Authority’s
Taxi Licensing Policy which states that all new Hackney Carriages are required
to be wheelchair accessible (Minute No. 2 above refers). The purpose of the provision is to ensure
that a mixed fleet of both wheelchair accessible and non-wheelchair accessible
vehicles are available to members of the public. The applicant was present at the meeting and
made representations to the Committee regarding the financial hardship he would
experience if his current saloon car was not granted a new licence. Having considered the representations from
the Licensing Officer and the application the Committee made their decision. RESOLVED: That
the application for a new Hackney Carriage Proprietors Licence be granted. |
