RESOLVED – That the Sub Committee, having considered the application on its individual merits, the committee papers, the Licensing Act 2003, the Section 182 guidance, the council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, submissions made by the applicant and all other parties, and the oral evidence given by the applicant and objectors during the hearing in its determination of the matter, REFUSED the application.
Members noted that the applicant demonstrated a significant lack of understanding of the licensing objectives and the legal requirements of the licensing regime. In particular, the applicant was unable to explain the licensing objectives when asked and provided inconsistent information regarding the operating hours of the premises. In particular, the applicant initially suggested that the premises had previously operated until 3am, which was later clarified as incorrect following advice from the Licensing Officer, and subsequently revised again during the hearing. The Sub Committee considered that this inconsistency reduced the weight that could be attached to the applicant’s evidence.
Members further noted that the applicant was unable to provide clear or detailed explanations as to how the licensing objectives would be promoted. In particular, limited detail was provided in relation to staff training, with reliance placed on unspecified training to be delivered by a franchisor, without any clear understanding of its content or implementation. There was insufficient evidence of measures to manage customers during late night hours, including how difficult or intoxicated individuals would be dealt with. No robust dispersal policy or noise management measures were outlined, despite the premises seeking to operate until the early hours of the morning. The Sub Committee also found that the applicant did not demonstrate an understanding of the risks associated with late-night operation in a busy and densely populated area.
The Sub Committee took into account the representations of the Ward Member, who highlighted existing issues on Crwys Road relating to noise, anti-social behaviour, and crime, particularly during late night hours. It was noted that the road already contained a substantial number of licensed premises and that residents had raised complaints about disturbance, waste management, and sleep disruption. The Sub Committee considered that the introduction of an additional premises operating until 3am was likely to add to the potential for noise and disturbance in the area, particularly in the absence of robust control measures.
Whilst the Sub Committee acknowledged the applicant’s submission that the premises had not previously been the source of complaints, it gave this limited weight given that the premises had not been operating under a premises licence permitting late-night refreshment beyond 11pm.
The Sub Committee also gave weight to the fact that this was the applicant’s first experience of the licensing process. However, this did not outweigh the concerns regarding the lack of understanding and the absence of appropriate safeguards.
Having carefully considered all of the evidence, the Sub Committee was not satisfied that the applicant had demonstrated that the licensing objectives would be promoted. In particular, the Sub Committee found that granting the application would be likely to undermine the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance, having regard to the nature of the area, the proposed hours, and the lack of adequate control measures.
The Sub Committee resolved to refuse the application.
Decided: The committee granted application 25/02667/FUL for the former civic amenity site on Wedal Road, Cathays, subject to an extra condition. The application is to re-use the site as a waste transfer facility, keep the existing storage shipping containers and site Bulk Carrier Units. The condition requires a scheme to inspect, repair, improve or replace the timber acoustic fence on the eastern boundary. The council must approve the scheme in writing before the site is first used. The works must be finished before first use, and the fence must be kept and maintained for the life of the development. The committee also granted application 26/00425/VAR for the Red Dragon Centre and County Hall, Atlantic Wharf, subject to a Section 106 agreement. This is a legal agreement between the council and a developer that sets out obligations linked to the permission. The application varies conditions 27 (Phasing Plan), 33 (Design Code), 35 (Maximum Height Parameter Plan) and 38 (Use Class Restrictions) of an existing permission. It amends the phasing plans, the land use and the green infrastructure parameters.
RESOLVED: Pursuant to this Committee’s delegated powers the following development management applications be determined in accordance with the recommendation set out in the reports of the Director of Planning, Transport and Environment, subject to any further amendments as detailed below and notification be given of the decisions in accordance with Section 70 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 or Section 74 of the Planning (Listed Building & Conservation) Act 1990.

RESOLVED – That the Sub Committee, having considered the application on its individual merits, the committee papers, the statutory guidance made under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 and the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, submissions made by the applicant and all other parties, and the oral evidence given by the applicant and objectors during the hearing in its determination of the matter, GRANTED the application; subject to the agreed conditions with South Wales Police and Environmental Health / Pollution Control.
Members noted that the applicant had agreed to the conditions proposed by South Wales Police and Environmental Health / Pollution Control, and that both parties had subsequently withdrawn their objections. They also noted that matters relating to commercial competition were not relevant to their determination.
Members considered the objections raised by local residents but were satisfied that the applicant had demonstrated that granting the licence would not undermine the licensing objectives. They acknowledged the concerns expressed in relation to litter and antisocial behaviour in the local area, but did not consider there to be sufficient evidence directly linking these issues to the applicant’s premises.
RESOLVED: Pursuant to this Committee’s delegated powers the following development management applications be determined in accordance with the recommendation set out in the reports of the Director of Planning, Transport and Environment, subject to any further amendments as detailed below and notification be given of the decisions in accordance with Section 70 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 or Section 74 of the Planning (Listed Building & Conservation) Act 1990.

RESOLVED – That the following matters be dealt with as indicated:
(1)
Application 1
The Sub Committee were asked to consider an application for the Grant of a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver's Licence given that the applicant had been convicted of an offence of possession of a Class C Controlled Drug in 2019 and failing to surrender to bail in 2001.
Addressing the Sub Committee, the applicant stated that he had a conviction for driving while drunk and had been banned from driving twice around 20 years ago. After that, a good friend advised him to stop drinking entirely, which he did. He didn’t mention this on the application because of the 10 year guidance, he didn’t think it would be considered relevant.
He added that the second matter, concerning possession of a class C drug, happened after he went to a wedding where he and his friends took khat before collecting what was left in a bag at the end and putting in his car. A few days later, the police searched the car, found the bag and gave him a caution for possession.
Responding to questions from the Sub Committee, the applicant stated that he hadn’t declared his caution on his application because he didn’t think he needed to, which was a mistake. The Sub Committee noted that the question on the application was very clear about the need to declare cautions.
The Sub Committee also sought to clarify that he understood it would not be acceptable to have drugs in the work environment even if someone else put them there. The applicant confirmed that he understood this.
RESOLVED – that the application for the grant of a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire driver’s licence be refused.
(2)
Application 2
The Sub Committee were asked to consider an application for the Grant of a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver's Licence given that the applicant had been convicted of an offence for Common Assault on 15th January 2016 and also declared an IN10 giving 6 points on his DVLA Licence in May 2022.
Addressing the Sub Committee, the applicant stated that his conviction for common assault was due to poor judgement as a young man, when he had reacted badly to a difficult situation. As for the six points, he was using his father’s car while working as a food delivery driver and his father told him he was on his insurance, but this was not true. He did have food delivery insurance but this had not been accepted as a replacement. He was sorry for his mistakes and emphasised that it would not happen again.
The applicant’s friend spoke on his behalf, explaining that they were from the same city and had been friends since they were children. He had never known him to react like that in any situation before or since. He used to employ the applicant as a driver at his company and found him to be a model worker who never had any complaints.
Responding to questions from the Sub Committee, the applicant clarified that he had assaulted his partner. They had been together for more than ten years now and had two children. He confirmed that he had not used any support services such as counselling since his conviction.
RESOLVED – that the application for the grant of a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire driver’s licence be refused.
(3)
Application 3
The Sub Committee were asked to consider if a driver remained a fit and proper person to continue to hold a Private Hire Driver’s License given that upon renewal of his licence there was an issue with the DBS process.
In the absence of the driver, the Licensing Officer clarified that this hearing was solely about the lack of a DBS certificate rather than what might be on it. He had just spoken to the driver, who confirmed that he had received the DBS, but as the licensing authority they had not yet received it.
The Committee suggested suspending the driver until he produced the DBS. The Legal Officer clarified that they had to specify a time period after which it could come back to committee, rather than leaving it open-ended.
The Committee agreed that a month’s suspension was appropriate. The Legal Officer added that the suspension could be lifted early if the driver provided a clear DBS before this time had elapsed.
RESOLVED – that the Hackney Carriage/Private Hire driver’s licence be suspended for one month.
(4)
Application 4
The Sub Committee were asked to determine if a driver remained a fit and proper person to continue to hold a Private Hire Driver’s Licence given that a common law notification from South Wales Police was submitted in relation to an incident which stated that the driver was arrested for assaulting a person in 2023, thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm.
The driver’s wife addressed the Sub Committee, stating that she was the person he had been arrested for assaulting. She explained that the time leading up to the incident had been very stressful as they were moving house and had an autistic son, who that morning had nearly been hit by a car. She and her husband had to drive to the recycling centre with her following, but she got lost and became frustrated when he wouldn’t reply to her calls. When they got to the centre, they argued and he swore at her, then she hit him and he hit her back.
Someone else saw this and reported her husband for assault. She had tried to explain that she was fine to this person but suggested that the report may have been racially motivated because they were Muslim. She and her husband had been married for 18 years and known each other for 22, and had three children together, and he had never done anything like that before or since. Her husband apologised to her straight away but the police came around that night anyway because it had been reported as an assault.
The Sub Committee noted that driving a taxi could be a stressful job, and asked how he would deal with situations where passengers were impolite, drunk or angry. The driver responded that he would just ignore them, as he was an experienced driver who had been licenced in London before as well and had experienced violent passengers in the past.
Responding to questions from the Sub Committee, the driver’s wife confirmed that they had not complained to the police about what they felt could have been a racially motivated report by the witness. The driver also confirmed that after the incident took place, the police took him to the station, gave him a caution and then released him.
RESOLVED – that the driver receive a written warning.
(5)
Application 5
The Sub Committee were asked to consider an application for the Grant of a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver's Licence given that the applicant had been convicted of an offence of possession with intent to supply class A in 2018.
Addressing the Sub Committee, the applicant stated that he was truly remorseful about his previous behaviour, and there were no excuses for having been stupid and naïve. He was now aged 27 and had truly grown up and rehabilitated. Life had been difficult, and it had been hard to find decent and sustainable work. He had never been in any trouble before 2018 but fell in with people who exploited his naivety.
Since his conviction, he had had no further trouble with the legal system and tried to be the best possible citizen. He regularly attended his local mosque and had completed his SQA level 2. He wanted to show that he was a changed man who was committed to being a taxi driver. He posed no danger to the public and could conduct his duties in a professional manner. He had made a horrendous error in the past but did not want to be punished forever for the behaviour of someone who no longer existed.
Responding to questions from the Sub Committee, the driver clarified that the 6 points on his licence were from speeding offences in the last couple of years while working in Magor, and he wouldn’t do anything like that now.
RESOLVED – that the application for the grant of a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire driver’s licence be refused.
(6)
Application 6
The Sub Committee were asked to consider an application for the Grant of a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver's Licence given that the applicant had convictions on his DBS.
Addressing the Sub Committee, the applicant stated that he had done everything possible to show that he could be trusted to drive a taxi, and understood the responsibilities of the role.
In response to questions from the Sub Committee, the driver accepted he had been to prison but believed he was innocent of the offences listed on his DBS, which included the possession of a class B drug and improperly obtaining another’s identity. He stated that he was not that type of person, and had not declared them on his application because they were a very long time ago. The Sub Committee noted that the most recent offence was in 2015.
RESOLVED – that the application for the grant of a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire driver’s licence be refused.
RESOLVED: That the Chairperson writes to the Cabinet Member on behalf of the Committee to convey any comments, observations and recommendations made during the way forward.
RESOLVED: that
• the procurement of new recycling collection fleet over a three-year period with a value estimated at £9.7M be approved.

Members gave consideration to the Police representations and the video and crime statistic evidence of crime and disorder and other anti-social behaviour within the area. The Sub Committee considered that the granting of this licence would cause additional crime and disorder.
It was not considered that the application had successfully shown that it would not undermine the Licensing Objectives and did not rebut the presumption within the cumulative impact policy.
