The Regulation Committee Appeal Panel (Transport) was scheduled to consider ten appeals as part of its business. These appeals, which were heard in private session, related to matters that could involve the disclosure of information relating to individuals.

The panel was scheduled to consider a series of ten appeals, each detailed in a separate section of the public reports pack. These appeals were designated as Matters for Decision and were to be heard under exempt circumstances, meaning the press and public were likely to be excluded. The specific details of each appeal, including the grounds for appeal and any supporting documentation, were contained within the respective sections of the reports pack, ranging from pages 3 to 612.

  • Appeal 1 (Pages 3-38)

The agenda for the meeting was published on 9 October 2026 by Benjamin Watts, Deputy Chief Executive. The meeting was scheduled to take place at County Hall, Maidstone, with Andrew Ballard serving as the contact person for inquiries.

The meeting was scheduled to be conducted under the provisions of Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972, which allows for the exclusion of the press and public when exempt information is likely to be disclosed. This was specified for agenda item C, a motion to exclude the press and public, and for all items listed under Exempt Items (Agenda item D). The exempt information was defined as relating to any individual or information that could reveal the identity of an individual.1
