Dear Paul Miller

following information:

 

12 The Ridge Way [23/01763/FUL] - Pre-application advice

Although no reference is shown and the officer details have again been
'REDACTED', the Application Form for planning application 23/01763/FUL
indicates that assistance or prior advice was sought from the local
authority about this application.

+++ Please provide COPIES of any information relating to ANY advice
provided, including but not restricted to copies of the following:

-- any completed Request for Pre-Application Advice forms,

-- evidence of any fee payment,

and any comments/observations in response,

The application form submitted by the applicant in relation to application
23/01736/FUL under the section titled pre app states that there was a pre
app for this site. An email of the 5/4/23 is referenced. We have checked
our files and there was no formal pre application submitted in relation to
this pre application.

However, in the application form the applicant has reference an email
exchange with the case officer as to the type of application which was
required for this development. We have attached this email exchange. This
was not a pre app and was an email exchange as to the type of application
required.

We have removed some names of individuals from these e-mails as this would
be disclosing personal data to you. The General Data Protection Regulation
2018, renders such data exempt from disclosure by virtue of Regulation

the provisions of Regulation 13.

It is important to remember that when information is released under the
Environmental Information Regulations 2004, it is considered released to
the wider public. Any such disclosure of personal information would not be
compliant with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations
2018.
