The Sub-Committee of the Licensing Board considered a report, presented by the Licensing Manager, relating to an application from Mr. A. for an exemption from the Licensed Vehicle Age Policy (Appendix I to the Council’s Taxi Licensing Policy).

In order to licence the vehicle, an exemption from the Council’s requirements in relation to vehicle age was required.  However, the owner had not provided documentation to confirm that the vehicle met the Council’s exceptional condition criteria and, therefore, had been brought to the Sub-Committee for consideration.

The Sub-Committee considered the reasons for the request in detail.

Mr. A. and his representative were in attendance at the meeting.

Resolved:-   That the request for an exemption from the Licensing Vehicle Age Policy in respect of vehicle XXX XRW be refused.
