Paragraph 8 PSV operators' licences
An application for a PSV operator’s licence made before the reorganisation date shall, as from that date, be treated as an application to the traffic commissioner for the traffic area in which the places named in the application as operating centres are situated or, if there is more than one such area, to the traffic commissioner for each of those areas in so far as it relates to their respective areas.
Where–
a decision on an application for a new PSV operator’s licence made before the reorganisation date falls by virtue of article 8 of this Order to be determined after that date by the traffic commissioner for the Welsh Traffic Area; and
at the time the decision is made, the applicant holds a PSV operator’s licence in respect of the Welsh Traffic Area (“the existing licence”),
the traffic commissioner for the Welsh Traffic Area shall treat the application as an application for a variation of the existing licence.
For the purposes of this paragraph, a person holds a PSV operator’s licence in respect of a traffic area if he either holds or is treated as holding such licence in respect of that area.
