Dear Jamie,

 

Thank you for your information request of 04 November 2019 and please
accept our apologies for delay in providing the response to you.  Aberdeen
City Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information
requested. Our response is now detailed below.

 

1)  Please provide me with a list of all council-owned assets that your
local authority has sold in the previous five years, in Excel spreadsheet
form.

 

Please include the criteria included in Edinburgh City Council's Asset
Register:
[1]http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/fi...

 

For each sold asset, please also include:

 

–The sale price

–The buyer

–The date of sale

 

Please find enclosed document ref: EIR-19-1473 – Disposals from Ownership.

 

Please note that individuals names have been redacted from the attached
document. This is because ACC considers that this information is excepted
from disclosure. In order to comply with its obligations under the terms
of Regulation 13 of the EIRs, ACC hereby give notice that we are refusing
your request under the terms of Regulation 11(2) in conjunction with
11(3)(a)(i) – Personal Information - of the EIRs.

 

In making this decision ACC considered the following points:

 

ACC is of the opinion that Regulation 11(2) applies to the information
specified above as the information in question is personal information
relating to living individuals, of which the applicant is not the data
subject.

 

ACC is of the opinion that Regulation 11(3)(a)(i) applies, as we consider
that disclosure of this information would be a breach of the ‘lawfulness,
fairness and transparency’ principle. These individuals have not consented
to the disclosure of this information and ACC does not consider that they
would expect ACC to release this information about them into the public
domain under the FOISA.

 

2) Please provide me with a list if all all the assets currently owned by
the council in the same format (or please provide a link if publicly
available).

Please note that the list of Current Assets can be found through this link
on our website:
[2]https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services...

 

As a list if all the assets currently owned by the council is otherwise
accessible  on the Council website through the above link, it is exempt
from disclosure.  In order to comply with our obligations under the terms
of Regulation 13 of the EIRs, we hereby give notice that we are refusing
your request under the terms of Regulation 6(1)(b)  - Information Already
Publicly Available - of the EIRs.

 

INFORMATION ABOUT THE HANDLING OF YOUR REQUEST

 

As the information which you requested is environmental information, as
defined under Regulation 2(1) of the Environmental Information (Scotland)
Regulations 2004 (the EIRs), we considered that it was exempt from release
through FOISA, and must therefore give you notice that we are refusing 
your request under Section 39(2) of FOISA (Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002).  However, you have a separate right to access the
information which you have requested under Regulation 5 of the EIRs, under
which we have handled your request. Please refer to the attached PDF for
more information about your rights under the EIRs.

 

We hope this helps with your request.

 

Yours sincerely,

Hello Jamie,

Thank you for your e-mail.

The document we sent you in relation to 'sold assets' was actually a spreadsheet but in csv format, however, due to the difficulties you had with csv format files in the past and following the approval from our Team Manager, please find enclosed the data in excel format.

Hope this helps and please let us know in case of any problems.

Kind regards
Access to Information Team
