From Monday 27 January 2020, Norwich City Council will start submitting taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) licence information to the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
This information will be submitted onto a database and retained for seven years.
We have a duty to provide this information to the government following the publication of a national plan to tackle roadside pollution and will be submitted under the Air Quality (taxi and private hire vehicles database) (England and Wales) Regulations 2019.

The data provided will be:
- vehicle registration number
- vehicle licence plate number
- date the licence is valid from
- date the licence expires
