Dear Croydon Borough Council,

Please provide COPIES of ALL information regarding consultation on the above planning application and ALL comments provided by consultees, including but not restricted to correspondence with the following :
+ Transportation Team
+ Tree Team
+ Ward Councillors

Please note, I am requesting COPIES of each set of comments, NOT a compilation of any comments received. Full justification should be provided for the redaction (or non-disclosure) of any author's name etc. I am particularly keen to know who determined [or advised the case officer] that:
(a) the details submitted and now approved "offer a well-designed and high-quality landscaping proposal", and that
(b)"the cycle storage provision would be broadly compliant with London Plan requirements in terms of the number of spaces provided and the need for cycle storage to be sheltered, secure, and accessible (with horizontal stands in this case)."

Please also provide COPIES of the following documents, which I cannot locate on the Council's website:
+ "play area specification" [Referred to on the approved Proposed Site Plan (1902-06 F), for details of the play equipment]
+ "Knightsbridge 230V IP65 GU10 Indoor / Outdoor Wall Light Specification Sheet"

Yours faithfully

Stephen Whiteside

Dear Mr Whiteside,

Further to your email dated 31 July 2024, in which you requested an
Internal Review of the Council’s response to your request for information
made under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR), I have now
concluded this review and I am able to reply as follows.

In your request for Internal Review, you asked the Council to reconsider
your request as you believed that you had not been provided with the
information requested.

In your request for information dated 1 July 2024 you requested the
following information:

“Please provide COPIES of ALL information regarding consultation on the
above planning application and ALL comments provided by consultees,
including but not restricted to correspondence with the following:

+ Transportation Team

+ Tree Team

+ Ward Councillors

Please note, I am requesting COPIES of each set of comments, NOT a
compilation of any comments received. Full justification should be
provided for the redaction (or non-disclosure) of any authors name etc. I
am particularly keen to know who determined [or advised the case officer]
that:

(a) the details submitted and now approved "offer a well-designed and
high-quality landscaping proposal", and that

(b)"the cycle storage provision would be broadly compliant with London
Plan requirements in terms of the number of spaces provided and the need
for cycle storage to be sheltered, secure, and accessible (with horizontal
stands in this case)."

Please also provide COPIES of the following documents, which I cannot
locate on the Councils website:

+ "play area specification" [Referred to on the approved Proposed Site
Plan (1902-06 F), for details of the play equipment]

+ "Knightsbridge 230V IP65 GU10 Indoor / Outdoor Wall Light Specification
Sheet"”

The Council responded to you on the 31 July 2024.

In your request for an Internal Review dated 31 July 2024 you stated the
following:

“You have NOT provided copies of the following documents:

+ "play area specification" [Referred to on the approved Proposed Site
Plan (1902-06 F), for details of the play equipment]

+ "Knightsbridge 230V IP65 GU10 Indoor / Outdoor Wall Light Specification
Sheet"”

On receiving your request for an Internal Review, I contacted the Head of
Development Management, who has provided additional information in answer
to the issues raised in your Internal Review.

Please find attached a copy of the Knightsbridge Light Specification.

I have been informed the Council does not hold a copy of the "play area
specification".

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:
