Dear Mr White,

Thank you for your e-mail of 17 December. Having taken legal advice, as
your Request is for the release of planning information only, it falls
within the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

Under Regulation 6, a local authority may make the information available
by other means if it is reasonable to do so, and it explains its reasons.
In this case, as the documents are scattered amongst numerous files, a
separate e mail must be created on each occasion to extract the document.

Further it will be impossible to avoid extraneous references being
included without manually renaming each image which would be very
time-consuming. The authority would need to charge for this time at £25
per hour and our initial estimate is a cost of £150. In consequence, we
can continue to make this available as hard copies for the copying charges
only.

You are entitled to make further representation concerning this e-mail,
and if you wish to do so please address those concerns to Mr Andrew Frost,
Assistant Director, Environment ([email address]) within 40 days
of the date of this e-mail.

Alternatively you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner at
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Karen Carter
Public Relations Officer

Land adjoining White House Farm Chichester OS map ref SU8405NE LR title
WSX272832

Dear Mr White

Freedom of Information Request - Land adj White House Farm, Chichester

I am writing further to your e-mail dated 8th January 2009 and am sorry
that you are dissatisfied with the Council's response under the Freedom of
Information legislation. This matter has been passed to me to review and
my conclusions are set out below.

The Council's records have revealed four planning applications that relate
to the land you have identified. These are

1. 99/01698/TEL
2. 99/02118/TEL42
3. 99/02358/FUL
4. 01/02898/COU

The Council's files in respect of the first three of these applications
are now available to members of the public via the Councils website under
the 'Public Access' facility. They are therefore freely available to view
and I consider that as a consequence, the Council has complied with its
obligations with under the Freedom of Information Act/Environmental
Information Regulations in respect of this information.

In respect of the 4th application (01/02898/COU), certain documents within
the file are available for the public to view on the Council's website and
you may therefore access this information direct. The remainder is not
however available by this means so I am arranging for it to be provided
electronically to you within the next 10 days.

I am satisfied that the Council has fulfilled its obligations in relation
to FOI/EIR and I trust this is of assistance to you. If you are still
dissatisfied with the Council's response you may complain to the
Information Commissioner at : Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe
House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely

Andrew Frost
Assistant Director Development Management

Dear Mr White

Freedom of Information Request - Review

I am writing further to your email dated 7th May 2009 in relation to the
above land and would advise that I have taken your email as a request to
review the response given by the Council on the 12th February 2009. I can
add nothing further in relation to planning applications that have been
submitted but can advise that this land was considered through the Local
Development Framework Core Strategy work in previous years as having
potential for being a strategic development area. The Core Strategy was
found unsound in June 2007 and was subsequently withdrawn.

That document identified land to the west of Chichester and White House
Farm as being one of the "options" for strategic development, the document
however did not allocate a specific site or sites. As that document has
been withdrawn it has no planning purpose and has been discarded.

There are a number of sites around Chichester, which are being considered
for strategic development to help meet the requirements in the South East
Plan for this area. White House Farm and the land around it remains one of
these "options ". Work is being undertaken as part of the production of
the Core Strategy to evaluate the "options" in order to direct future
development to the most suitable location or locations.

The Council were due to consult on a Preferred Core Strategy in April this
year, however, due to issues regarding waste water treatment and A27
improvements, the consultation has been deferred. These issues are being
addressed with the relevant authorities and the Council hopes to formally
consult later this year.

I confirm that the Council holds some base material relating to the
specific site you refer to. This material will assist the Council in the
preparation of its new Core Strategy and is consequently unfinished and
comprises incomplete data. I therefore take the view that it is
inappropriate to release this information at this stage as a public
consultation will occur later at which material will be provided. In view
of the consultation to come, I consider the public interest is in
retaining the information pending consultation on the new Core Strategy.

If you would like to be updated on the progress of the Local Development
Framework, please let me know and your details will be added to the
Council's database.

I am now satisfied that the Council has fulfilled its obligations in
relation to FOI/EIR and I trust this further information is of assistance
to you. If you are still dissatisfied with the Council's response you may
complain to the Information Commissioner at : Information Commissioner's
Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
