Summary

The Licensing and Regulatory Sub-Committee of Teignbridge Council met on Friday, 14 June 2024, to discuss several applications related to private hire and hackney carriage vehicle licences. Decisions were made on the extension of vehicle licences, the issuance of new licences, and the approval of small plates for specific vehicles.

Request for Hackney Carriage Vehicle Extension for Further 12 Months - KV09 WPK

The Sub-Committee reviewed the application for a 12-month extension of the hackney carriage vehicle licence for a vehicle with registration KV09 WPK. The vehicle's MOT certificate expires in April 2025, with no advisories, and it passed its annual taxi inspection test on 30 April 2024 with an advisory relating to the tyres. The applicant was unable to attend, but the Licensing Manager confirmed that the advisory had been fixed.

The Sub-Committee was satisfied that the vehicle was in good and sound condition and that public safety would not be compromised by granting the licence. Therefore, the Sub-Committee granted the Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licence Extension with the additional condition of 4 monthly taxi inspection tests due to the age of the vehicle.

Request for Hackney Carriage Vehicle Extension for Further 12 Months - DN62 WNU

The Sub-Committee considered the application for a 12-month extension of the hackney carriage vehicle licence for a vehicle with registration DN62 WNU. The vehicle's MOT certificate expires in April 2025, with no advisories, and it passed its annual taxi inspection test on 10 May 2024 with an advisory relating to the exhaust. The applicant confirmed that the vehicle was booked in to have the advisory fixed on 30 May 2024.

The Sub-Committee was satisfied that the vehicle was in good and sound condition and that public safety would not be compromised by granting the licence. Therefore, the Sub-Committee granted the Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licence Extension with the additional condition of 6 monthly taxi inspection tests to monitor the condition of the vehicle due to its age.

Request for Hackney Carriage Vehicle Extension for Further 12 Months - DX13 OVS

The Sub-Committee reviewed the application for a 12-month extension of the hackney carriage vehicle licence for a vehicle with registration DX13 OVS. The vehicle's MOT certificate expires in May 2025, with three advisories and one minor defect. The vehicle failed its annual taxi inspection test on 3 May 2024 due to the taxi light not working. The applicant had not arranged a retest and had not communicated with Licensing Officers regarding the issue.

The Sub-Committee was not satisfied with the lack of communication and the failure to arrange a retest. Therefore, the Sub-Committee refused to grant the Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licence Extension due to the failed vehicle test and the lack of communication as required by the Council’s Licensing Policy.

Request for Hackney Carriage Vehicle Extension for Further 12 Months - MK12 YWA

The Sub-Committee considered the application for a 12-month extension of the hackney carriage vehicle licence for a vehicle with registration MK12 YWA. The vehicle's MOT certificate expires in March 2025, with no advisories, and it originally failed its annual taxi inspection test due to a faulty airbag sensory light but passed the retest on 8 May 2024. The applicant confirmed that all advisories had been fixed.

The Sub-Committee was satisfied that the vehicle was in good and sound condition and that public safety would not be compromised by granting the licence. Therefore, the Sub-Committee granted the Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licence Extension with the additional condition of 6 monthly taxi inspection tests to monitor the condition of the vehicle due to its age.

Request for Hackney Carriage Vehicle Extension for Further 12 Months - SA14 CAB

The Sub-Committee reviewed the application for a 12-month extension of the hackney carriage vehicle licence for a vehicle with registration SA14 CAB.
