LiveWest

A community benefit society a a Registered Social Landlord in England

This authority is not subject to FOI law, so is not legally obliged to respond (manylion).

Livewest is a housing association which owns and manages over 36,000 homes across the South West, from Cornwall to Gloucestershire.

This organisation is probably not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. The Information Commissioner has in the past ruled that Housing Associations are subject to the Environmental Information Regulations * but recently the position has become less clear-cut. Courts may rule that information requested from this body ought be released under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

We're happy for people to make requests to LiveWest in public via our service; such requests and their responses, could help inform the public debate on the degree to which access to information legislation should apply to this body.

A number of entities trade as "Livewest":

LiveWest Homes Limited is a charitable community benefit society, registered with the Financial Conduct Authority number: 7724 and with the Homes and Communities Agency number 4873. VAT: 568873378 (Parent).

Whether a Housing Association in England is subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 depends on whether it is wholly owned by public bodies. According to a Housing Corporation statement on accessing information:

"You can also write to housing associations. Most try to be as open as possible and will provide you with information when they are able. The Housing Corporation requires housing associations to be accessible, accountable and transparent to residents and other stakeholders. The National Housing Federation Code of Governance states that associations should operate in an open and accountable manner by generally making information about their work available to their residents, local communities and other stakeholders." ^[1]
