The Panel gave consideration to the report of the Director of Central Services and Monitoring Officer regarding the renewal of a Private Hire Driver’s Licence.  The Panel noted that the driver had advised, on submitting his application for renewal, that he may not conform to the medical standards as detailed in the Council’s Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy 2013-16 in that he had Monocular Vision.  The Panel listened carefully to the representations made by the applicant, had regard to the report of the Director of Central Services and found that applicant had presented sufficient evidence of his ability to hold a Private Hire Driver’s Licence. 

The Panel therefore

RESOLVED:  That the application for the renewal of a Private Hire Driver’s Licence be approved.
