Application To Licence Private Hire Vehicle pdf icon PDF 100 KB

Minutes:

The Head of Legal and Regulatory Services submitted a report asking the sub-committee to consider an application to grant a licence for a private hire vehicle.

 

The application was made by Mr Paul Brain, Peyton Travel Limited of Bridgend to licence a Renault Trafic Sport DCI vehicle registration number CV18 WZM as a private hire vehicle to seat 8 persons. The vehicle was pre-owned and was first registered at the DVLA on 10 June 2018. The current mileage of the vehicle was 32,614. 

 

The Team Manager Licensing advised that the application fell outside the Private Hire Vehicle Policy approved by the Licensing Committee. The vehicle was not wheelchair accessible. The first MOT was due in June 2021 and no other documentation had been provided.

 

The Team Manager Licensing referred the Sub-Committee to the relevant extract from the vehicle policy applicable to this application.

 

RESOLVED:                The Sub-Committee considered the application to licence vehicle registration CV18 WZM as a private hire vehicle.

 

                                     Members noted that the application fell outside the Licensing Policy at paragraph 2.1 due to the vehicles age.

 

                                     Members further noted that the Policy at paragraph 2.2 allowed it to be relaxed in exceptional circumstances as detailed in paragraph 2.4 of the policy.

 

                                     Having examined the vehicle, the Sub-Committee felt that the vehicle was exceptional in terms of its quality both interior and exterior and its safety qualities. The Sub-Committee therefore granted the licence.
