Request for Exemption from Rotherham MBC Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy Requirement Minutes: The Sub-Committee of the Licensing Board considered a report, presented by the Licensing Manager, relating to an application from Mr. O. for an exemption from the Vehicle Age and Emissions Policy (Appendix I to the Council’s Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy). The vehicle had not previously been licenced by Rotherham but had been licensed as a Private Hire Vehicle by Transport for London. The vehicle was 6 years and 3 months old. In order to license the vehicle, it must either be in exceptional condition (as defined in the Council’s Policy) or an exemption from the Council’s requirements in relation to vehicle age was required. The owner had been unable to provide documentation to confirm that the vehicle met the Council’s exceptional condition criteria and, therefore, the application had been brought to the Sub-Committee for consideration in relation to an exemption from the Council’s policy. The Sub-Committee considered the reasons for the request in detail. Resolved:- That the request for an exemption from the Council’s Vehicle Age and Emissions Policy in respect of vehicle XXXUHH be refused.
