The General Licensing Sub Committee is responsible for considering applications and other licensing matters that cannot be handled by officers under delegated authority. This includes decisions related to taxi licensing (hackney carriage and private hire), scrap metal sites and operators, and specific provisions under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982. The sub-committee's remit covers breaches of licence conditions and ensures compliance with policies such as the Taxi Licensing Policy, affecting drivers, vehicles, and operators.
