Minutes:

The Head of Legal and Regulatory Services submitted a report asking the Sub-Committee to consider an application to grant a license for a private hire vehicle.

 

The application was made by Forge Travel Limited to licence a Volkswagen Transporter vehicle registration number GJ17 OBD as a private hire vehicle to seat 8 persons. The vehicle was pre-owned and was first registered at the DVLA on 21 March 2017.

 

The Sub-Committee inspected the vehicle.

 

The Team Manager (Licensing) advised members that the current mileage of the vehicle was 27,286 miles. She stated that the application fell outside the Private Hire Vehicle Policy approved by the Licensing Committee for the reasons outlined in the report. The vehicle was not wheelchair accessible, but there were specific policy guidelines in respect of the first licensing of private hire vehicles which fell outside policy guidelines, outlined in paragraph 4.4 of the report. For Members’ information a service history had been provided dated 13 December 2017 with the mileage recorded at 6886, 14 February 2018 with mileage at 9900, 23 August 2018 with mileage at 19927 and 24 October 2018 with mileage at 22678.

 

RESOLVED:       The Sub-Committee considered the application to    register GJ17 OBD as a private hire vehicle.

 

                                    Members noted that it fell outside of policy 2.1 due to the age and mileage.

 

                                    Members noted that the policy could be relaxed as set out in para 2.2 of the policy and the guidelines at 2.2.5 were applicable, namely the exceptional interior and exterior quality and the exceptional standards of safety. As such the Sub-Committee were happy to grant the licence.
