Dear Mr. Giles,

 

Request for Internal Review

 

I refer to your email of 1 February 2012 requesting an internal review of
your information request ref: IR0004 (LPA Appeal Costs). Your initial
request was sent to this office on 3 January 2012 at 17:18, this was after
close of business, therefore, your request was not received in this office
until the following day, 4 January 2012 and was logged on our system as
such.

 

The Information Commissioners Office states:

 

The 20 working day clock starts:

• the day after the public authority receives the request (According to
regulation 5(2))

or

• the day after the public authority receives more particulars (had the
original request been formulated in too general a manner).

 

The above information can be found at:
[1]http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/...

 

In our confirmation email of 6 January 2012, you were informed that the
closing date of your request would be 1 February 2012, 20 working days
from the date of receipt. We received no comment from you about this date
at the time.

 

A response to your request was emailed on 1 February 2012 at 15:28. In so
doing, this Council responded to your request within the 20 working day
limit and is neither in breach of the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA) nor the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR).

 

The internal review procedure deals with matters of substance not the time
for processing the request and would, therefore, be inappropriate in any
event. If you are unhappy with the substance of the Council’s response you
have the option of requesting an internal review of the substance of our
response.

 

If you are not content with this decision, under Section 50 of the Freedom
of Information Act or Environmental Information Regulations, you have the
right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision.
The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information
Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
5AF.

Yours sincerely,

 

Gayle Jones
