The Miscellaneous Licensing Committee of Cornwall Council was scheduled to consider several applications for Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licences, as well as a review of a Private Hire Vehicle Licence and a Private Hire Operators Licence. The meeting agenda also included standard procedural items.

Applications for Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licences

The committee was scheduled to consider multiple applications for Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licences. These included applications for the renewal of licences for WD226 and E1D220, and applications for the grant of new licences for WD227, WD228, and E1D219.

The report pack details the procedures for these hearings, which involve the applicant presenting their case, followed by questioning from committee members and council officers. The committee's decision-making process is guided by the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 and the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976.

Review of Private Hire Vehicle Licence

A review of a Private Hire Vehicle Licence, WV172, was also scheduled. The report pack outlines the procedures for such reviews, which are similar to those for licence applications, allowing for the presentation of evidence and questioning of parties involved.

Review of Private Hire Operators Licence

The committee was also set to review a Private Hire Operators Licence, WO3. The procedures for this review are also detailed in the report pack, ensuring a structured process for considering the operator's licence.

Exclusion of the Press and Public

A resolution was to be considered for the exclusion of the press and public from certain parts of the meeting. This is in accordance with the Local Government Act 1972, where discussions involving Information relating to an individual may require private sessions. The report pack states that compliance with the public interest test provisions has been met.

Previous Meeting Minutes

The committee was scheduled to review the minutes from the previous meeting held on 2 April 2026. These minutes, available in the Public reports pack, would have covered any decisions or discussions from that earlier session.
