295 LOCAL GOVERNMENT (MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS) ACT 1976 –

APPLICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT OF JOINT HACKNEY CARRIAGE/ PRIVATE HIRE LICENCE – REFERENCE DRIVER 2010/003 (Minute No 273)

The Committee considered the report of the Licensing Manager on a request for

reinstatement of a joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence which had been suspended as a result of a complaint by a member of the public. The matter had been heard at the Magistrates’ Court and, as a result of the subsequent conviction, the Driver, reference 2010/003, had been brought before the Committee to determine whether he was a fit and proper person to hold a licence.

In accordance with the approved procedure Members heard evidence from the

driver and his witnesses who were present at the meeting, the complainant and a Police Constable. The Sub-Committee withdrew to consider its decision and upon resuming the meeting the Barrister explained that she had advised Members in respect of the guidelines on fit and proper persons, the Council’s Policy Guidelines, the merit of the existing conviction, the status of common assault, and the Committee’s options under Section 61 of the Act.

RESOLVED: That, having regard to the evidence heard, the existing

conviction, the lack of remorse exhibited by the driver and the number of years of experience as a licensed driver, the joint Private Hire/Hackney Carriage Driver’s licence be revoked as the Committee regards the assault as a serious offence under the Council’s policy which seeks to protect the public.

(b) That the driver be advised of the right of appeal against this

determination. The meeting ended at 11.53 am.

DOVER DISTRICT COUNCIL Agenda Item No 4 REPORT OF THE LICENSING MANAGER REGULATORY COMMITTEE – 16 NOVEMBER 2010 APPLICATION TO LICENCE VEHICLE OUT OF POLICY GUIDELINES Recommendation

That the Committee determine the application Contact Officer: Tony Bartlett ext 2229 Reasons why a decision is required

The regulation of Hackney Carriages and Private Hire Vehicles is a statutory duty of the Council under the provisions of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 and the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976. This Council has a policy that for the grant of licences such vehicles shall be no older than 3 years from date of first registration or if less than 4 years old from date of first registration shall not have a mileage in excess of 60,000 miles. Mr Matthew Golding, the owner of Deal Cars intends to apply to licence an Octavia Superb that was first registered in June 2009. This means that the vehicle is over the age defined in policy for the initial grant of a licence It is intended that the vehicle be used primarily for weddings, which is an exempted use under the provisions of Section 71, Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976. It is possible however that the vehicle may be used for other uses that would fall into the chauffer driven class for which an exemption under Section 73(5) Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 would apply. Should Committee determine it appropriate to grant a vehicle licence, it would then fall into the category of a “ prestige vehicle”. This would allow Mr Golding to renew the vehicle licence to up 10 years from the date of first registration provided it was still in an acceptable condition.

Evaluation of options available to the Council 1. To allow the grant of a private hire vehicles licence notwithstanding that this would

be a deviation from existing policy 2. To reject the application as there is insufficient evidence to justify a deviation from

existing policy. Information to be considered in taking the decision The vehicle is in exceptional condition and would primarily be used for weddings. The 60,000-mile maximum limit is exceeded by nearly 4,000 miles.

5

6

Under Section 71, Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976., if this was the only use, there would be no need to licence the vehicle as an exemption is available to Mr Golding

Mr Golding may make the vehicle available for prestige uses and for this reason he

has applied for a private hire vehicles licence. The occasions when this type of business is undertaken are likely to be limited.

The change to Council policy is relatively new and was intended to allow private hire

operators the facility to replace their existing vehicle with a slightly older vehicle that was still in good condition. The mileage limit is one of the methods to ensure that the standard of vehicles is maintained.

The condition of this vehicle is such that a case may be made to deviate from the

recently made policy. If such a deviation from policy were allowed then it would be necessary to make clear that this was an exceptional circumstance and that under normal circumstances such a deviation would not be considered.

In order to prove that use of the vehicle is in compliance with the stated aims of the

application the Committee may wish, should a determination be made in favour of a grant, to issue a 6 month licence and require that records of work be produced before allowing the licence to continue. Such approval may be appropriate to delegate to the Licensing Manager.

Impact on Corporate Objectives The Regulation of the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire trade is a statutory function

impacting on particularly Opportunity and Access Community objectives. Attachments Appendix 1 – Letter from Mr Golding requesting Committee views. TONY BARTLETT Licensing Manager The officer to whom reference should be made concerning inspection of the background papers is Tony

APPENDIX 1

Deal Cars 3 Beechwood Court Tel: 07854 996360 Beechwood Ave, Deal CT14 9SP

Licensing Dover District Council Whitfield Kent Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to apply to put my vehicle on as a hackney carriage, in place of the Skoda Octavia I already have. The vehicle I would like to replace it with is a Skoda superb. The vehicle was registered in June 2006. I know this is outside the council policy age which is why I am asking for special dispensation on this vehicle. Although the vehicle is 4 years old it is immaculate. It has done 100,000 miles but at 90,000 miles it had a complete engine rebuild under the Skoda warranty. It is a top of the range elegance with full leather upholstery and all extras that Skoda offers. I ask that the committee view this vehicle so they can see just how pristine it is and then hopefully agree with me that it is worth a hackney carriage plate. It will be mainly used for executive hire for our more important management accounts but on some occasions be used as a normal hackney carriage vehicle. I look forward to you reply. Yours sincerely Mr M Golding Deal Cars

DOVER DISTRICT COUNCIL Agenda Item No 5 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF GOVERNANCE

LICENSING COMMITTEE – 16 NOVEMBER REGULATORY COMMITTEE – 16 NOVEMBER 2010 CABINET (for information) – 6 DECEMBER 2010 (part of larger report)

FEES AND CHARGES 2011/12 Recommendations

It is recommended that: Committee approves the Fees and Charges for 2011/12 as set out in Annex 2

& 3. Committee approves the general principle that fees are set at an appropriate

inclusive level, irrespective of VAT status, and that the VAT element within the overall fee level is then determined.

Approval is sought for officers to adopt fees at, or close to government directed levels without the need for further reporting, in cases where the Council is awaiting for Government guidance and it has not been possible to set a fee level at this stage.

Contact Officer: Tony Bartlett, extension 2229.

Reasons why a decision is required

1. This report has been prepared in order to obtain formal approval for the levels of fees and charges (F&Cs) for the financial year 2011/12. These revised F&Cs will be included in the budget estimates for 2011/12. Options available to the Council with assessment of preferred option

2. The Council’s constitution specifies that F&Cs shall be reviewed annually. In order to meet this requirement all Directors have been asked to review the F&Cs within their areas of responsibility and to produce recommended levels for 2011/12. The level of Member approval required is dependant upon the types of F&C raised and therefore reports have to be submitted to: Licensing Committee Regulatory Committee Planning Committee (for information only) Cabinet

In order to meet this requirement it is proposed to submit the following reports: Licensing and Regulatory Committees - Report to the meetingS on

16 November 2010 of all F&Cs to be set by the Licensing and Regulatory Committees.

Planning Committee - Report (for information) to the meeting on 11 November 2010 of all F&Cs relevant to the Planning Committee.

8

Cabinet - Report to the meeting on 6 December 2010 of all F&Cs, but seeking

specific approval of those F&Cs set by Cabinet.

Information to be considered in taking the decision

3. Members are reminded that in 2004/05 a Member and Officer review group developed a framework of broad guidelines to be considered in formulating proposals for F&Cs. A copy of the (updated) checklist produced at that time has been circulated to all Directors and to all officers considering F&C so that a rigorous and consistent approach is taken. A copy is attached at Annex 1. To assist Members the data on F&Cs has been tabulated into a standard format and this is provided at Annex 2. Members are asked to note the following points.

Detail and Narrative (Columns 2 & 3)

These give a brief summary of the type of service being provided. 2010/11 Charge Inc VAT (Column 4) The charge has been provided inclusive of VAT for two reasons. First, is shows what the customer will actually pay and is therefore more meaningful. Second, charges for some services, especially those such as car parking, which are not simply a direct recovery of costs, are set at a level, inclusive of VAT, based on the appropriate market level. The VAT is therefore a deduction from the amount of charge retained by DDC and is not a key factor in determining the appropriate charge. Members are asked to approve this approach. Statutory (Column 6) This indicates whether a charge is “Statutory” or not. If a charge is “Statutory” then it is effectively set by Government and although formal Member approval is still sought, there is little or no scope to make changes. 2010/11 Total Expected Income ex VAT (Column 7) This gives a broad indication as to how much income DDC will receive and has been included to provide Members with a sense of the relative importance of individual charges. It may therefore save Members from debating the merits of an increase in a charge level, where the overall amount of income is not significant. In some cases, the level of use is very low, or infrequent, or the service has only recently been introduced and so no level of income has been included. 2011/12 Proposed Charge Inc VAT (Column 8) This is the recommended charge for 2011/12 and will, subject to Members’ approval, be included in the 2011/12 budget.

9

10

Reason for the Change in Charges (Column 11) This provides Members with a brief explanation for the change. This will often be due to inflation or “catch up” inflation if the increase has been previously deferred until it can be made to a sensible rounded figure. In some instances guidance is still awaited from Government as to the basis upon which F&Cs should be set. In these cases it has not always been possible to set a fee level, member’s approval is sought to enable officers to adopt such fees at or close to government directed levels without a further report. Directors, Service Manager and Portfolio Holder (Columns 12, 13, 14) These show the responsibilities for specific F&Cs.

Significant Charges To assist Members the more significant charges (generating over £3,000 per annum) are highlighted in bold text.

Resource Implications

The effects of the proposed F&Cs will be reflected in the production of the budget for 2011/12. Consultation Statement Consultation between Directors and Portfolio Holders has taken place. Impact on Corporate Objectives The recommended F&Cs relate to the financial health of the Council and are consistent with service delivery objectives. Publication A simplified version of the tables at Annex 2 & 3 will be placed on the Council’s website and intranet for access by officers and the public. Customer Access Review These are undertaken for the service as a whole. They have regard to the fees and charges but are not generally undertaken for individual fees. More information on CARS is provided on the Cabinet report. Attachments Annex 1 – Fees and Charges checklist. Annex 2 & 3 – Schedule of recommended F&Cs
