Dear Sir or Madam,

Please provide copies of any documents that the Council might hold
identifying that Brooke is a suitable location for a traveller
site, and that Brooke is best placed settlement to meet the needs
of travellers in the district.

Please additionally provide copies of all documentation easily to
hand identifying that the current proposals by the SNDC as a
planning authority to identify traveller sites in the District have
been a complete waste of time. The Political Leader of the Council
appears to have identified that there might have been flaws through
the large number of apologies that he has recently issued in the
press.

Yours faithfully,

C. P. ELLIOTT

Dear Mr Elliott

I refer to your request which is being considered. You may be aware that we have 20 working days in which to respond to FOI requests and you will therefore hear from me again by 4 December 2008 or earlier if possible.

For your information, the Act defines a number of exemptions, which may prevent release of the information you have requested. There will be an assessment and if any of the exemption categories apply then some or all of the information may not be released. You will be informed if this is the case, including your rights of appeal.

There may be a fee payable for ‘reasonable disbursement’ costs such as postage and photocopying. This will be considered and you will be informed if a fee is payable. In this event the fee must be paid before the information is processed and released. The 20 working day time limit for responses is suspended until receipt of the payment.

Dear Mr Elliott

I show below your Freedom of Information request below, replicated for ease of reference:

Please provide copies of any documents that the Council might hold
identifying that Brooke is a suitable location for a traveller
site, and that Brooke is best placed settlement to meet the needs
of travellers in the district.

I repeat my answer as detailed in your previous request, number FOI 08-177: "I have searched the planning applications and also examined the sites currently being considered by South Norfolk Council for possible traveller sites and am unable to locate a site in Brooke. As there does not appear to be such an application, I am unable to supply any of the requested documents as they do not appear to exist."

The second part of your request:

Please additionally provide copies of all documentation easily to
hand identifying that the current proposals by the SNDC as a
planning authority to identify traveller sites in the District have
been a complete waste of time

Under section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am advising you that the Council does not hold the information which you have requested as it does not exist.
