PH7 3NL 
Age: 64 years   
9 Month Decision Date:  11 October 2023 
Reason for Report:  The applicant has submitted a request to vary the terms
and conditions of his operator licence, with regard to the
age limit for replacing vehicles (see attached copy
application and letter received 12 January 2023). 
Background Information:    Current policy is that a taxi or private hire car shall be
no more than 10 years old from the date of first
registration before being replaced, however all vehicles
for a taxi or private hire operator licence if wheelchair
accessible (WAV) must be no more than 12 years old
from date of first registration before being replaced. 
The Applicant’s vehicle will be 12 years old from the
date of first registration on the 24 February 2023. To
comply with current operator conditions, the applicant
would have been required to replace or remove his
vehicle from service on or before this date.  The
applicants’ annual vehicle fitness test is due to expire on
10 February 2023.
