Buckinghamshire Council has successfully defended in court, a decision to refuse a hackney carriage and private hire driver licence application due to the applicant's poor driving standard.
Mr Asghar of Hatters Lane, High Wycombe had his driving licence endorsed with 7 penalty points for an offence of driving without due care and attention following a collision with a motorbike in High Wycombe in November 2020.
Following careful review of Mr Asghar's application and historic information, including a previous revocation from Wycombe District Council in 2018 for poor driving standards, Buckinghamshire Council refused his hackney carriage and private hire driver licence application.
Mr Asghar chose to appeal this decision, and the case was heard at Wycombe Magistrates on Friday 13 September 2024.
Magistrates found that the council was correct to make the decision to refuse the application based on its policy and so Mr Asghar's appeal was dismissed.
Mr Asghar was ordered to pay Buckinghamshire Council's costs of £2,451.92.
