Dear Mr. Woods,
Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Information Request
Your request for information received on 28^th January, 2012 has now been
considered and Breckland Council’s response is below. As your request
covered two areas within the Council, namely Asset Management and
Democratic Services, I have shown below the information obtained from the
service areas.
Asset Management
Rate of Return - The rate of return that has been achieved to date is
5.38%.
Actual rent being charged – The rent being charged is the rent reserved in
the lease i.e. £480,000.00.
Arrears - The current arrears between the landlord and tenant would be a
matter of commercial sensitivity. Accordingly the qualified exemption
contained in Section 43 of the FOIA applies.
Democratic Services
There has been one member who has declared an interest in the country club
or golf club. That is Councillor Claussen. There have been no members of
staff declare any interest.
If you have any queries or concerns or wish to complain about the handling
of your request, then please contact the Freedom of Information Officer at
Breckland Council, Elizabeth House, Walpole Loke, Dereham, Norfolk, NR19
1EE, e-mail [Breckland District Council request email].

Dear Allen, Sue,
Many thanks for the information. I understand the restriction
regarding commercial confidentiality but believe it conflicts with
the public duty of transparency. I shall raise it with the
Ombudsman as a general principle.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Woods
