Dear Mr Burton
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST -FOI Request -
F11843  
I refer to your request for information received on 2 February 2018
concerning correspondence on planning conditions for Viridor's Beddington
Energy Recovery Facility.
Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 makes provision for
public authorities to refuse requests for information where the cost of
dealing with them would exceed the appropriate limit which[1], for local
government, is set at £450.  This represents the estimated cost of one
person spending 18 hours at £25 per hour in determining whether the
Council holds the information requested, locating the information or
documents containing the information, retrieving the information or
documents and extracting the information from any document (including
editing).
The Council estimates that it will take substantially in excess of 18
hours to determine appropriate material and locate, retrieve and extract
the information with reference to the request.  Accordingly, the request
will not be processed further.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, this letter constitutes a
Refusal Notice.
If you are unhappy with the way in which your request has been handled you
have the right to ask for an internal review.  Please notify us in writing
as soon as possible with the grounds upon which you feel the appeal is
justified to : [2][Sutton Borough Council request email]  or by post to Customer Care and
Improvement Team, Civic Offices, St Nicholas Way, Sutton, Surrey, SM1 1EA.
We aim to respond to you within 20 working days of receiving your request.
If it is going to take longer we will let you know.
