RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL that Section 6 of the Guideline Policy for Criminal Convictions be amended to read as follows:

Where a Licence has been refused or revoked by the Council (or another Local Authority) a further application will be refused if received within five years from the date of the refusal/revocation, as it will be deemed that the persons circumstances have not changed significantly within that period to make them ‘fit and proper’.

The Service Director Legal Services will submit a report seeking approval to recommend to Council an amendment to Section 6 of the Council’s Convictions Policy which specifically addresses re-applications for Private Hire and Hackney Carriage Driver Licences following refusal or revocation.
