The General Licensing and Registration Sub-Committee (2) of County Durham Council was scheduled to consider several applications related to private hire and hackney carriage vehicle licences. These included an application for a private hire driver's licence and requests to deviate from policy for three separate vehicle licence applications.

Private Hire Driver Licence Application

The committee was scheduled to consider an application for a private hire driver licence. The report pack provided to the committee members contained detailed information regarding this application, spanning pages 3 to 34 of the public reports pack.

Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licence Policy Deviation Request

A request to deviate from the council's policy concerning an application for a hackney carriage vehicle licence was also scheduled for consideration. This item, detailed on pages 35 to 108 of the public reports pack, would have involved a review of the specific circumstances of the application against the established policy.

Private Hire Vehicle Licence Policy Deviation Requests

Two separate requests to deviate from policy in relation to applications for private hire vehicle licences were on the agenda. The first of these was detailed on pages 109 to 230 of the public reports pack, and the second on pages 231 to 328. These items would have allowed for a discussion of the specific reasons why a deviation from the standard policy was being sought for each application.
