Dear C Gordon

 

Request pursuant to Environmental Information Regulations Act 2004 –
Request No.16225

 

Thank you for your request for information which we received on 21^st
August 2020. Your request has been considered under the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004.

 

We want to be as open as possible in answering requests, and to help
people obtain the information they are looking for. Unfortunately, in this
case the amount of information you have requested is very substantial. 
Gathering it together would therefore be likely to involve a significant
cost and diversion of resources.  This could mean that we might have to
charge you for the work involved or even have to refuse the request under
exceptions in the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 covering
requests that are manifestly unreasonable or formulated too general a
manner.

 

We require a planning application reference number to be able to search
the relevant agreement. Therefore can you please provide the planning
reference number in order to move forward with your request.

 

If you are unable or unwilling to narrow down your request we will, of
course, consider it in accordance with our obligations under the
Environmental Information Regulations 2004.  However, we wanted to give
you an opportunity to reconsider your request and describe more precisely
the information you require.

Please let me know how you wish to proceed.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Andrea Bechtle

Dear Andrea Bechtle,

I sent a request on 30th September 2020 and I am yet to receive the requested information. Considering the response is long overdue and has extended far beyond the statutory guidelines. Would it be possibly to either receive the requested information or an update as to when I will receive it?
