Dear Mr Whittaker
Access to Information Request - Acknowledgement – RFI #677
Thank you for your request for information about:
“Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like a copy of the original designation order for the Malvern
Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including the original maps showing the boundary route.
(I understand that the order dates from prior to 1960, and that crown copyright lapses 50 years after
publication. Therefore there should be no copyright issues with these documents.)
I would prefer an electronic copy if possible, but I would be happy with a paper copy if not.”
which we received on 24th February 2010. We are dealing with your request under the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004.
Your request is being considered and you will receive the information requested within the legal deadline of
20 working days. If for any reason, we are unable to meet the deadline we will keep you fully informed of
the reasons for this.
If you have any queries about this letter please contact me.
Yours sincerely
Ben Heathcote
