Dear Emma,
Before we move down the routes of formal reviews and the like, can
I ask you to look at this again? I don't feel the site qualifies as
reasonably accessible for this particular information. There is no
facility to filter by date, type of planning application, or to
search for a wildcard in the planning description.
The MoJ's guidance states that one of the questions surrounding
whether information falls under a Section 21 exemption is "is it
catalogued and indexed?" Given the points I've listed above, I'd
ask if you could pull an extract from the data behind the site for
Change Of Use in the last five years, and include the address,
applicant and proposal description.
Yours sincerely,
Matt White

Dear Mr White,
I have spoken to our planning department. Unfortunately our computer system does not allow us to extract the data you require. As this is not information the Council requires the system has been designed to search via reference number and ward. Our staff can search via address but this will be of no assistance to you.
The Town and Country Planning (general development procedure ) Order 1985 states that the Council must hold public registers. The part 2 list is a public document but which is currently only available to view at the council offices this will list all applications made and notes can be taken from this.
Unfortunately if the Council where to manually review every file to obtain the information you have requested for every application for the last 5 years this would exceed the cost threshold limit and the Council would refuse your application on this ground.
I would therefore state that the Council relies on section 21 of the Freedom of Informaiton Act in that the information is available. In the alternative the Council relies on section 12 of the Act that the cost of complying with the exemption would exceed the cost threshold.
The Council considers that the above response fully complies with the requirements placed on the Council under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000 but a person making a request for information under the FOIA 2000 may complain to the Review Officer if they are dissatisfied with the Council’s response. Details regarding the complaints procedure may be obtained from the Monitoring Officer at the Council Offices in Benfleet.
