CALE HCV Application V10 0219 page 2 of 7
N.B Previous to 2004 the Council limited the number
of hackney carriage vehicles, which should be licensed
in the East Lindsey District. In September 2004 the
Council removed the limit on vehicle numbers with
the proviso that new licences (hackney carriage
vehicle licence numbers 250 and above) would
only be granted to purpose built wheelchair access/
disabled access vehicles. The relevant specification for
these vehicles is shown at Appendix A of the above
guidance booklet. All other hackney carriage vehicles
(hackney carriage vehicle licence numbers 249 and
below) are subject to the second specification shown
at Appendix A of the booklet.
(10) All vehicles will be subject to a visual inspection by
a Licensing Officer before a licence can be granted.
The visual inspection will cover items such as the
cleanliness of the vehicle and compliance with licence
conditions (further information is available from the
Licensing Team). The visual inspection will normally
be undertaken at the Council’s Manby Park Offices
when the application is made for a vehicle licence.
Visual inspections will normally only take place on
a Tuesday or a Thursday morning. Appointments for
visual inspections should be made at least 24 hours in
advance by telephoning the Licensing Team on 01507
601111.
(11) If the vehicle has been converted to run on L.P.G.
fuels, the proprietor must submit a certificate (from
a source approved by the Council) as to the safety of
the vehicle and the fuel system.
(12) The Council has adopted the following policy in
relation to tinted windows in hackney carriage
vehicles:
Windscreens and windows to the side/rear of the
driver must have a visual transmission of light of
not less than 70%.
In addition, no new or existing hackney carriage
vehicle can be fitted with any form of additional film
to darken or tint the glass on any part of the vehicle.
(13) Hackney Carriage Intended Use Policy
Applicants for vehicle licences will be expected
to demonstrate a bona fide intention to ply for
hire within the administrative area of East Lindsey
District Council under the terms of the licence for
which the application is being made. There will be
a presumption that applicants who do not intend
to a material extent to ply for hire within the
administrative area of East Lindsey District Council
will not be granted a hackney carriage licensing
authorising them to do so.
With this in mind the Council makes the following
policy statement:
“If you wish to be a hackney carriage proprietor we
require information, pursuant to section 57 of the
Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act
1976 as to whether you intend to use the vehicle in
East Lindsey or outside of the District”.
You will need to be able to show what proportion
of your business you propose to carry out in East
Lindsey and what business will be carried out
elsewhere, including the geographical location.
If we have concerns that the hackney carriage is to be
used primarily outside of this area then the decision
on whether to licence you would need to be made
by our General Licensing Committee (consisting of
Councillors).
Each case will be decided on its merits.
This is in accordance with the decision in:
R (App Newcastle City Council) v Berwick-upon-
Tweed Borough Council [2008]
Further information on this policy is available
from the Licensing Team.
(14) Designated List of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles
If the vehicle, subject of this licence application, is
wheelchair accessible vehicle then you must note the
guidance at the end of that form.
PLEASE NOTE
It is an offence to give false information in relation to a licence application.
You must conspicuously display the hackney carriage vehicle plate (issued by the Council) on
the rear side of the vehicle. The plate must not be displayed in the rear window.
The licence cannot be transferred to another vehicle. If you wish to change the vehicle, you
must let us know and we will advise you what to do.
If you transfer your interest in the vehicle to someone else you must tell us, in writing, within
14 days - it is an offence not to do so.

Declaration
(1) I HEREBY APPLY for a hackney carriage vehicle licence and DECLARE that the information set out in this application
is correct and I am aware that any false information could lead to the disqualification of the application and
prosecution under Section 57 (3) of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976.
(2) I acknowledge that the hackney carriage vehicle identification plate issued in respect of the vehicle:
Is the property of East Lindsey District Council and is held on loan by me, and
Must be returned to the Council on revocation or expiry of the licence, etc. (Section 58, Local Government
(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976)
(3) Intended use of Hackney Carriage
I have been advised that, based upon the decision of the High Court in the case of R. (on the application of
Newcastle City Council) –v- Berwick upon-Tweed Borough Council 2008, East Lindsey District Council ought not
to licence Hackney Carriages which will be predominantly used outside the district.
I hereby declare that it is my intention that the vehicle licensed by me will be used predominantly in the District
of East Lindsey and I understand that should this not be the case either at the date hereof or at any time
thereafter the Council may revoke or refuse to renew the licence under Section 60(1)(c) of the Local Government
(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976.
I understand that each case will be decided on its merits.
(4) Equality Act 2010 - Designated List of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles
This section is only relevant where the vehicle, subject of this vehicle licence application, is a Wheelchair Accessible
Vehicle.
I am aware of the Council’s proposal to place this Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle on the published list of
designated Wheelchair Accessible Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs).
I am aware that once the Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle is on the published list then drivers of the vehicle will be
liable for a fine if they do not comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010.

Equality Act 2010 - Designated List of Wheelchair Accessible
Hackney Carriage Vehicles and Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs)
If the vehicle, subject of this licence application, is a wheelchair accessible vehicle then you must note the following.
This Authority publishes on its website a list of designated Wheelchair Accessible Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs).
The Council are proposing to place your wheelchair accessible vehicle on the Designated List. The current Designated List
is available to view on the Council’s website at:
www.e-lindsey.gov.uk/article/5462/Hire-Vehicles-Equality-Act-2010
We are proposing that the record for the vehicle will show the following details:
Make and Model of Vehicle
Vehicle Registration Number
Licence Plate Number
Name of the Operator
Size and Weight of Wheelchair That Can be Accommodated Within the Vehicle: Reference Wheelchair
Once the wheelchair accessible vehicle is on the published list then under the Equality Act 2010 drivers of the vehicle will
be liable for a fine if they:
refuse to carry a wheelchair passenger in their wheelchair*,
fail (unless they have an official exemption from the Local Authority) to provide assistance - such as deploying the
ramp and helping to push the wheelchair passenger into the vehicle,
charge extra for carrying a passenger who uses a wheelchair.
* Please note that it is a defence for a person charged with the offence, of refusing to carry a wheelchair, to show that at
the time of the alleged offence:
a) the vehicle conformed to the accessibility requirements which applied to it, but,
b) it would not have been possible for the wheelchair to be carried safely in the vehicle.
This Council’s current guidance leaflet, on the subject of transporting a wheelchair user, is available on the licensing area of
the Council’s website at:
www.e-lindsey.gov.uk/article/5462/Hire-Vehicles-Equality-Act-2010
Please ensure that this leaflet is brought to the attention of all drivers in your employ.
Where possible we will include information, on the list of vehicles, about whether wheelchairs that are larger than a
“reference wheelchair” can be accommodated within a particular vehicle. However, we suspect that for a large number of
wheelchair accessible vehicles we will be indicating that the vehicle cannot normally accommodate anything larger than a
“reference wheelchair”.
Wheelchair accessibility regulations for access to public transport use a specific “reference wheelchair”. The reference
wheelchair has:
total length of 1200mm, including extra-long footplates
total width of 700mm
sitting height (from ground to top of head) of 1350mm
height of footrest above floor of 150mm
If you disagree with the proposal to place your vehicle on the Designated List, please contact us by letter or email
(licensing@e-lindsey.gov.uk) within 28 days of the date of this licence application. Please title your letter or email
‘Designated List of WAVs - Taxis and PHVs’.
If you disagree with the proposal then we will not place your vehicle on the Designated List and instead will arrange a
Licensing Committee hearing (consisting of Councillors) in order to consider your case and concerns.
