The agenda indicates that the panel will consider urgent business, any appeals from the public, and declarations of interest. A significant item on the agenda is the review of a Private Hire Driver Licence for an individual identified as ZA.

Review of a Private Hire Driver Licence

The panel is scheduled to consider a report from the Director of Planning, Building Control and Licensing concerning the review of a Private Hire Driver Licence for an individual identified as ZA. The report pack indicates that this item contains exempt information, and the officers consider that the public interest in maintaining this exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. The committee will be recommended to agree resolutions to exclude the public from the meeting during the consideration of this item.
