Dear Mark Dooley,

Freedom of Information (ref T6562)

I would like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for
the following-

A list of all Non Domestic Rates Assessments within your Billing
Authority, detailing the property address, Rateable value, Billing
Authority Reference and liable party for each.

Thank you for your recent request which falls under the Freedom of
Information Act/Environmental Information Regulations.

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 from the authority’s
other work. Please note that some of the data requested may already be in
the public domain and available from the Valuation Office Agency.

When calculating the cost of complying with a written consent, the Council
will calculate the time taken by an individual member of staff, charged at
a rate of £25 per hour, to do the following:

i)              Deterring whether the Council holds the information

ii)             Locating the information or document

iii)            Retrieving the relevant information

iv)           Extracting the relevant information from a document

As such, your request certainly seems to exceed the £450 cost limit
(equivalent to 2.5 working days) which the Government has set for dealing
with a FOI request.

The best way we can help you therefore is to ask you to try and narrow
down your request, for example, by asking for less informatin or
restricting the information to a specific time period.

If you are unable or unwilling to narrow down your requests we will, of
course, consider it in accordance with our obliations under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, but if it does exceed the cost limit, we may have to
refuse the request.

Please let me know how you would like us to proceed.

Yours sincerely,

Gwawr Owen
