Dear Sir/Madam
Freedom of Information Act 2000
This request is being handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and logged as case reference.
Your request is as follows:
We provide property consultancy services and are looking to get information on landlords with properties
in Cheshire East (including those with HMO Licenses).
I require name/address, contact number and email address (if possible).
I appreciate that you must be very busy and hence many thanks in advance for your co-operation.
I can confirm that Cheshire East Council holds the information you requested. However we are
withholding that information since we consider that the following exemptions apply to it.
The information is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA).
The information is personal data as defined by the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). As it is information
about someone else I’m unable to give this to you; release of this information would constitute a breach of
Principle 1 of the DPA. Principle 1 states that personal data shall be processed (used) fairly and lawfully
and, in particular, shall not be used unless at least one of the conditions in Schedule 2 of the DPA is met;
in this case none of those conditions have been met. This response therefore acts as a refusal notice
under section 17 of the FoIA.
Please quote the reference number 638933 in any future communications.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review under the Freedom of Information Act you should write to the Compliance &
Customer Relations Team, Cheshire East Council, 1st Floor, Westfields, c/o Municipal Buildings, Earle
Street, Crewe, CW1 2BJ.
If you are still dissatisfied with the Council’s response after the internal review you have a right of appeal
to the Information Commissioner at:
The Information Commissioner's Office
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire SK9 5AF.
