Applicants are highly recommended to study the emailed guidance especially concerning criminal and motoring matters to determine if anything relating to your application breaches any of the Council Policies currently in force. If you do breach any such policies it is for you to successfully prove you are fit for the grant of a licence.
If the Council is, at the end of this process still unsure then by law it must, by Notice, refuse to grant a licence, giving grounds for refusal and detailing any statutory right to make an appeal to the courts.
