| McCue House where Uber seeks to establish a local administration centre |
TAXI firm Uber insists that it has no intention of allowing its premises to be used by the public as a booking office if it is granted planning consent to base it local operations at a suite of offices in a building on Humberston's Wilton Road business estate.
In its application for Suite F02 at McCue House, it states: "The use would be purely to satisfy regulatory requirements to have an office to accommodate visits by the local licensing authority or police to conduct their respective duties.
"While being classed as a licensed private hire booking office, Uber operates an app-based business model.
"The app connects drivers and passengers through a digital platform."
It continues: "The property would not be open to the general public as a traditional walk-in/private hire taxi booking office.
"No vehicles would be based at the property, nor permitted to use it as a lay-over space.
"The proposed use is purely administrative, and there would be no impact on local amenity or highway."
The proposal is under consideration by officers in North East Lincolnshire Council's planning department.
