The General Licensing and Registration Sub-Committee (3) was scheduled to consider several applications for private hire and hackney carriage vehicle licences. The meeting was also set to review ongoing suitability of a private hire driver.

Consideration of an Application to be Licensed as a Private Hire Driver

The sub-committee was scheduled to consider an application for a private hire driver's licence. This item, detailed in the Public reports pack Wednesday 11-Mar-2026 10.00 General Licensing and Registration Sub-Committee .pdf, would involve reviewing the applicant's suitability to hold such a licence. Previous meetings on 17 December 2025 and 19 January 2026, as documented in the 17122025Minutes.pdf and 19012026Minutes.pdf respectively, had addressed a similar application, with the earlier meeting adjourning to allow the applicant to submit further evidence.

Requests to Deviate from Policy for Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licences

Three separate items were scheduled for consideration regarding requests to deviate from policy for Hackney Carriage Vehicle licences. These applications, detailed within the Public reports pack Wednesday 11-Mar-2026 10.00 General Licensing and Registration Sub-Committee .pdf, would involve assessing whether to grant exceptions to the council's established policies for these licences.

Consideration of the Ongoing Suitability of a Private Hire Driver

The sub-committee was also scheduled to review the ongoing suitability of a private hire driver. This item, also outlined in the Public reports pack Wednesday 11-Mar-2026 10.00 General Licensing and Registration Sub-Committee .pdf, would involve assessing whether the driver continues to meet the required standards for holding a licence.
