Through the relevant application/notice forms, accompanying documentation and payment facilities associated with this licensing function the Council (the data controller) collects personal data. Personal data may also be collected in respect of further related requests for information from the applicant/person submitting the notice. This is necessary for the performance of legal obligations on it in respect of the relevant licensing function or otherwise necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority. These also form the basis for the further processing of the personal data by the Council in connection with the application/notice any determination of the same and any subsequent authorisation/appeal and issues that arise during the period of the authorisation/appeal. Beyond that, the Council will retain the records for 5 years and then destroy them securely. The Council will maintain and retain public registers and these are not destroyed. The Council may from time to time extract information itself from those public registers. The Council will share with and receive information from the following: • Home Office (Right To Work) • Disclosure & Barring Service • DVLA • Other Council Services (where appropriate) • Other Local Authorities (where appropriate) • Public Notice responses in respect of data subjects who are applicants/notice givers and those who hold authorisations. It holds the personal data in a way designed to secure it from unauthorised use, loss or destruction.

7. The granting of the Licence for use of the premises stated in the application does not absolve you from obtaining any other necessary consents or permissions (eg Planning permission or Landlord’s consent) either from this or any other authority or person.

8. You may only carry on the business of Private Hire Operator from the premises authorised in your licence.

9. Licensed Operators must keep a record containing the names and addresses of proprietors, registration numbers and licence numbers of all vehicles operated.

10. Private Hire Operators must keep a record of all bookings, showing the points of

commencement and termination of each journey, the charge made, the person accepting the booking, the vehicle used and the name of the driver. A sample of the booking records as requested by the Licensing Office must be provided with applications for renewal of an Operator's Licence. The same will apply if there has been a lapse in the Licence period before a new Licence is applied for. Any bookings accepted without the benefit of an Operator's Licence constitutes an offence.

11. Private Hire Operators are prohibited from using in the name or description of their firm or in the description of the service supplied in the course of the business the words "Taxi", "Cab" or "Taxi-Cab" or any other words which, when pronounced, would sound similar to such works or which might lead any person to believe the Operator is providing a Hackney Carriage service.

12. Your attention is drawn to the provisions made under Section 46(1)(e) and (2) of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 which state: (1) (e) No person licensed under the said Section 55 shall in a controlled district operate any vehicle as a private hire vehicle –

(i) If for the vehicle a current licence under the said Section 48 is not in force;or

(ii) If the driver does not have a current licence under the said Section 51

(2) If any person knowingly contravenes the provision of this Section he shall be guilty of an offence.

In order to obtain the vehicle and driver licences referred to above, applications for those licences will need to be made. Guidance on these applications, the Authority's policies on such applications and the processing arrangements are available from the Licensing Office upon request.

13. Vehicles to be licensed for Private Hire must satisfy the Council's standard of fitness, details of which are contained in a separate set of explanatory notes, a copy of which is available from the Licensing Office on request.
