Minutes:
Below is a summary of the matter considered in Part II of the meeting.
The Licensing Officer outlined the reasons why the matter had been referred to the Sub-Committee, namely relevant convictions from 2011 and failing to disclose those on the application form. Options available were highlighted for Members consideration.
The Applicant, who was in attendance with a friend, explained the confusion in completing the application form, stating that he had declared his cautions and that he couldn’t recall the dates relating to his convictions. The Applicant submitted that he had made mistakes when he was younger and was now a reformed character – married with young children - and requested that time lapsed since his last conviction be taken into account.
Having considered all the written and verbal evidence the Sub Committee
Resolved - That Applicant Reference 05-21 be granted a Private Hire Driver Licence subject to an additional condition requiring the applicant to sign up to the DBS Update Service and subscription to this service be maintained for as long as the Applicant held a PHD licence issued by Slough Borough Council.
