Decision

Members considered that the recent motoring related conviction could not be considered minor in nature but on the balance of probability were satisfied that the Application is a fit and proper person as under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 to hold a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver’s Licence and that a licence for a three year period should be granted on the condition that a further DVLA fee paying enquiry is carried out at 12 months of the date of the grant of the licence at the Applicant’s expense.
