REASONS FOR DECISION
1.This is an appeal to the Upper Tribunal brought by Mr Peter Granville for and on behalf of Wychwood School Oxford Ltd (hereinafter “the appellant”), from a decision of a Traffic Commissioner (“TC”) contained in a letter dated 20 September 2021, refusing the application for a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) Operator’s Licence. The appeal was originally lodged in the name of Mr Peter Granville, the Bursar of the Wychwood School Oxford Ltd, as he was undertaking the application process, but the appellant has been officially amended to that of Wychwood School Oxford Ltd, as the legal owner of the vehicle and operator of the licence in question. 2. The appeal was considered at a traditional face-to-face hearing, in London, on 8 June 2022. The appellant attended and was represented by Mr B. Coulter of Counsel. The Respondent, as is standard practice, was not present or represented at the hearing.
