In terms of Standing Order 28(5)(vi), and in accordance with Section 50(B)(4)(b) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, the Sub Committee was informed that it had to determine: (1) that the item on the agenda was of an urgent nature; and (2) that the Sub Committee required to consider the item and take a decision thereon.

The Sub Committee resolved:

to agree that the item was of an urgent nature and required to be considered this day.

The Sub Committee had before it (a) an application for a window cleaner’s licence completed by Donald Matheson and (b) an information note by the Head of Legal and Democratic Services.

The information note advised that the application required to be determined by 2 August and that to date the applicant had failed to provide evidence of his public liability insurance policy which was a requirement for the grant of a window cleaner’s licence.

The applicant was not in attendance.

The Sub Committee resolved:-

(i)         to refuse the application, and

(ii)        to agree to waive the application fee should the applicant re-apply and to advise the applicant that should the application be resubmitted within one year with evidence of a valid public liability insurance policy that the Licensing Committee would consider whether a material change had occurred and whether to consider the application at that time.
