I am writing regarding your request for information, which I received on 1 August.

I can confirm that the Council holds information falling within the description specified in your request. However, we estimate that the cost of complying with your request would exceed the appropriate limit of £450. The appropriate limit has been specified in regulations and for local government it is set at £450. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 2½ working days in determining whether the Council holds the information, and locating, retrieving and extracting the information. Under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act the Council is not obliged to comply with your request and we will not be processing your request further.

However if you were to make a new request for a more narrow category of information, it may be that we could comply with that request within the appropriate limit, although I cannot guarantee that this will be the case. If you would like to discuss this option please let me know and I will put you in touch with a council officer who can help you. Any reformulated request the Council receives from you will be treated as a new FOI request.

I attach the Council's appeals procedure for your reference should you wish to request a review of our decision.

Further to your recent FOI enquiry, in order for your request to be processed I would be grateful if you could provide your full name.

Section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act sets out the requirements of a valid request for information and says that a request must, amongst other things, "state the name of the applicant.".

The clock has been stopped on your request. Once I have received your reply the clock will be restarted and you will receive a reply within 20 working days.

Dear Nancy,

I refer to your request below and attach a spreadsheet in response to Q1. With regard to Q2-3 the data you request is not held in this format and it would mean going through each case individually.

With regard to Q4, all children are initially offered a place.
