Dear Mr Lister,

I refer to your request for information dated 16 November 2009 a copy of
which is appended below for reference.

In order to provide you with as full a response as possible, I require
some clarification regarding your request. I can advise that the Council
undertakes various types of searches and I would be grateful if you
could specify exactly which type of search you would like the
information for.

I look forward to receiving clarification from you on this matter.

Yours sincerely,
Len Mitchell

Dear Mr Lister,

Thank you for your clarification concerning your request for information
in relation to searches.

I note that you have confirmed that you require "Searches compiled and
sold for inclusion in Home Information Packs.Con29 and LLC1
combinations."

I would be grateful if you could provide one further point of
clarification on this matter.

Could you please confirm if your request is in relation to:-

1. CON29 forms received since 1 April 2009 where all the information is
required (ie an answer is required to all questions on the form).

2. CON29 forms received since 1 April 2009 where only some of the
information is required (ie an answer is required to only some of the
questions on the form).

I am able to advise that, irrespective of which of the above you
require, it is not possible to run a simple report identifying which
searches are due to them being included in a HIP. In order to identify
this, it would be necessary to inspect every single record.

I am able to confirm that we receive a large number of CON29 forms and
as a result it would take a considerable amount of time and resources to
undertake this exercise.

I can further advise, though, that it would be possible to provide you
with the total number of full searches (item 1 above) and the total
number of partial searches (item 2 above) received since 1 April 2009,
but this would be irrespective of whether they were for inclusion in a
HIP.

I would be grateful if you could confirm if you wish to proceed with
your request on this basis.

Yours sincerely,

Information Officer
