Empty domestic properties by parish

We're waiting for Bugault Olivia to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Denbighshire Council,

I am writing to ask you to supply details around Empty Domestic Properties (Council Tax) by Parish.

I would like: 

1 The number of 

2 address (including street number and postcode) of homes that:
a) have been empty for over 6 months 

b) have been empty for under 6 months 

c) your empty homes strategy including what empty homes (if any) 
you prioritise.

I am requesting this information in an excel format.
If you cannot provide all lines of the address, the ward area and postcode will suffice.

If you are unable to provide this information please advise me as to how to refine my request to make the information easier to find.

If you are only able to partially disclose the information please do so - and if some of the information is already readily available please direct me as to where to find it.

Yours faithfully,

Bugault Olivia

Denbighshire County Council

Dear Bugault Olivia,

Thank you for your request for information received 23/11/2017 concerning
VACANT PROPERTIES. Please see below:

 

The number of empty homes:

a) 932 have been empty for over 6 months
b) 663 have been empty for under 6 months

The Empty Homes Strategy can be found on the website.
https://www.denbighshire.gov.uk/en/your-...

I can confirm that we hold the address details, however the information is
exempt under Section 31 (1) (a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(prevention and detection of crime). Disclosure of information about empty
private homes could lead to unlawful occupation and theft of cables and
fixtures and fittings.

The Council considers that the public interest test in avoiding prejudice
to the prevention of crime outweighs the public interest in disclosure of
this information.

I would also draw your attention to the response from Gwynedd  Council.

 
If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact
me.

If you have any queries regarding this response, please do not hesitate to
contact me at the following address: Access to Information Officer,
Corporate Information Management Team, PO BOX 62, Wynnstay Road, Ruthin,
LL15 9AZ. Alternatively, if you are unhappy with the way the council has
handled your request and wish to ask for internal review, please contact
the Corporate Information Manager at the same address. If you are
subsequently not content with the outcome of the review, you have the
right to apply to the Information Commissioner whose address is Wycliffe
House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

The contents of this communication and the enclosed documents are subject
to copyright protection. It has been sent to you for your information and
you may use it for any private study and non-commercial research. The
information may also be used for the purposes of news reporting. Re-use
for commercial publication requires the permission of this Council.

 

Yours sincerely

Dear Kerry Standen,

Thank you for your response.

Without disclosing the full address details, would it be possible to provide me the parish names (or postcode) where the empty houses are located as did the Gwynedd council and many others?

Yours sincerely,

Bugault Olivia
