Dear Mr Parish

 

As per our phone discussion earlier I have transferred your email address
across from the Ashfield District Council FOI request to the Mansfield
District Council request we already have on file for you.

 

To confirm we received this request on the 3 November 2020.  Please accept
our apologies for the continued delay in responding.  As previously
mentioned we had a vacancy in our team from March to November which has
resulted in a backlog of requests which we are now working through.  I
have reviewed the file and we are still awaiting the information you have
requested from the Private Sector Housing Team at Mansfield District
Council.  I have chased the team at Mansfield District Council for this
information today and ss soon as we have this information I will send you
a response.

 

Should you have any further questions please do contact me.

 

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Parish

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST – Ref No: 007306

 

Thank you for your email of 3 November 2020 where you requested a copy of
the HMO register for licences granted since OCTOBER 2018 in the whole of
Mansfield and surrounding areas which Mansfield District Council covers
hopefully in the form of map showing % s in each area or if not then a
list of addresses and postcodes.  Please accept our apologies for the
delay in replying, this is due to a staffing shortage.

 

I can confirm that Mansfield District Council holds this information as a
list of addresses and postcodes but not as a map.  The information is
exempt under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), because
the information is accessible to you, as it is already in the public
domain.  The Council is able to fulfil its duty under Section 232 of the
Housing Act to make this information available as a full version of the
register is available for inspection upon appointment at the Council.  The
Housing Act 2004 does not obligate the Council to provide this information
electronically, nor does it negate the Council’s commitment and
responsibilities under data protection legislation.  In the interests of
advising and assisting, the Council has attached a document with many
details of the HMO register provided.  Certain personal data has been
removed as, whilst a matter of public record, the Council must still
process this in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the GDPR.
 The Council considers the means of distribution important here, and
disclosure of the data electronically creates an unfair ease of access to
such a large number of people which could potentially breach the first
data protection principle in Article 5 of the GDPR.

 

This is an absolute exemption and there is therefore no requirement to
consider the public interest.

 

Copyright and re-use

 

Most of the information that we provide in response to Freedom of
Information requests will be subject to copyright protection.  In most
cases the copyright will be owned by Mansfield District Council.  The
copyright in other information may be owned by another person or
organisation, and this will be indicated on the information itself.

 

You are free to use any information supplied for your own non-commercial
research or private study purposes.  The information may also be used for
any other purpose allowed by a limitation or exception in copyright law,
such as news reporting.  However, any other type of re-use, for example by
publishing the information in analogue or digital form, including on the
internet, will require the permission of the copyright owner.

 

For information where the copyright is owned by Mansfield District Council
details of the conditions on re-use can be found on our website at

Your privacy

 

We use your personal information such as name and address so that we can
comply with our legal obligations to respond to Freedom of Information
requests.  For further details about the use of information about you,

Complaints

 

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review.  Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed to: Freedom of Information,
Ashfield and Mansfield Legal Services, Ashfield District Council, Urban
Road, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, NOTTINGHAM, NG17 8DA or
[3][Mansfield District Council request email].

 

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

 

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information
Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, WILMSLOW, SK9 5AF or
[4]https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.

 

Yours sincerely
