Minutes:
The Panel considered a report to inform them of an application for a new Dual Driver’s licence, which, due to a conviction recorded against the Applicant calls in to question their fitness and propriety to be a suitable person to hold such a licence. As such, the application was referred to the Panel for determination.
RESOLVED that, based on the information provided to the Panel, having taken into account the reason the Applicant has appeared before the Panel, namely: a conviction, the report written by the Officer, their recommendations, the Applicant’s comments and the Council's Statement of Fitness and Suitability, the Applicant is a fit and proper person and accordingly the application be GRANTED for a probationary period of twelve months to be extended for a further 2 years if no issues arise in the meantime. The decision to grant was made on the grounds that the sentence imposed by the court in 2019 indicated a low degree of responsibility for the offence and the Applicant’s subsequent conduct has not demonstrated further offending behaviour.
NOTE: The Applicant attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
