Question:- Will licensing add an “Intended usage” policy to prevent cars+drivers working elsewhere?

This is not permitted and legally unenforceable although Government have indicated that they will look to amend the law in this area.
In relation to Hackney Carriages – this is in legislation – where the hackney carriage will primarily work in it’s ‘home’ authority. It is deemed unlawful to have an intended use policy in relation to private hire vehicles.

The response seems to be saying that an intended use policy for HCs would be illegal?

Didn't they introduce such a policy in Rossendale to address the issue there?

Isn't the first sentence sort of contradicted by the second?
