Reference No: 49730

Thank you for your recent request regarding allotments.

Your request is being considered and you will receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days, subject to the application of any exemptions. Where consideration is being given to exemptions the 20 working day timescale may be extended to a period considered reasonable depending on the nature and circumstances of your request. In such cases you will be notified and, where possible, a revised time-scale will be indicated. In all cases we shall attempt to deal with your request at the earliest opportunity.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of the information requested where the request exceeds the statutory limit or where disbursements exceed £10. In such cases you will be informed in writing and your request will be suspended until we receive payment from you or your request is modified and/or reduced.

Your request may require either full or partial transfer to another public authority. You will be informed if your request is transferred.

If we are unable to provide you with the information requested we will notify you of this together with the reason(s) why and details of how you may appeal (if appropriate).

Depending on the nature of your request, there is a possibility that the information held (if any) by Lewisham Council is governed by the Data Protection Act 1998 or Environmental Information Regulation. Should this be the case, we will inform you of the situation and issue you the necessary forms and guidance in order for you to proceed with your search.

Please note that the directorate team may contact you for further information.

Yours faithfully,

Corporate Information Governance
