Dear Mo Attar,

Request pursuant to Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Request No.
RFI-02480

Further to your request for information dated 13 September 2024. I can
confirm that the information you requested is held under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. However, the Council, for the reasons that follow,
declines to disclose the information requested.

Under section 1(3) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a public
authority need not comply with a request unless any further information
reasonably required to locate the information is supplied. If a request is
too broad or general in nature, then public authorities have a duty to
provide advice and assistance to the applicant in order to focus the
request.

After requesting clarification on the 16^th September and the 17^th
September, a search was performed by our ICT Team with the following
terms:

Communications with “Turley” since 2019 to date;

• That contains in their subject or including in the body of the email:
“East West Rail Company”;
• That contains in their subject or including in the body of the email:
“Arch Holdings”; “Telereal Trillium” where “Turley” is their agent.
• That contains in their subject or including in the body of the email:
“Danfoss Site”; “old Network Rail”; “Bedford Hospital land”.

The result of this search returned a total of 9386 emails across various
areas in the Council.

Section 12 of the Act makes provision for the Council to refuse requests
for information where the cost of dealing with them would exceed the
appropriate limit of 18 hours. This represents the estimated time and cost
of one person spending 18 hours in determining whether the Council holds
the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the information.

We estimate that it will take us in excess of 18 hours to determine
appropriate material and locate, retrieve and extract the information in
reference to your request. Therefore, your request will not be processed
further.

You may wish to refine your request by narrowing its scope by being more
specific about what information you particularly wish to obtain, including
any teams, officers and/or service area involved in these communications.

If for whatever reason you are unhappy with our response to your
application you are entitled to pursue any dissatisfaction through the
Council's Internal Review Procedure. Pursuant to Section 17 (7) of the Act
the procedure provided by the Council for dealing with complaints about
the determination of this request for information is the Council’s FOI
Complaints Procedure, a copy of which can be obtained on request or is set
out at:

Dear Mo Attar

Request pursuant to Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Request No.
RFI-02480

We have conducted an internal review further to your email dated 28^th
October 2024.

This internal review relates to your initial request dated 13^th September
2024 which stated:

‘Please share all information and correspondence with Turley since January
2019’.

Further clarifications were requested by the Council to which you have
replied:

On the 16th September: ‘It is understood that Bedford Borough Council was
in touch with Turley regarding the NHS (Bedford hospital's) interest in
selling land to East West Rail Company.  It is understood that the land is
in the approximate area of Ford End Road and the old Danfoss site on
Ampthill road.’

And on the 17^th September: ‘Please check for Arch Holdings and parent
Telereal Trillium please.  It was reported that Turley is their agent. 
Arch owns the old Danfoss site, old Network Rail property and Bedford
Hospital land’.

The Council’s response on the 27th September was:

After requesting clarification on the 16th September and the
17th September, a search was performed by our ICT Team with the following
terms: 

Communications with “Turley” since 2019 to date;

• That contains in their subject or including in the body of the email:
“East West Rail Company”;
• That contains in their subject or including in the body of the email:
“Arch Holdings”; “Telereal Trillium” where “Turley” is their agent.
• That contains in their subject or including in the body of the email:
“Danfoss Site”; “old Network Rail”; “Bedford Hospital land”.

The result of this search returned a total of 9386 emails across various
areas in the Council. 

Section 12 of the Act makes provision for the Council to refuse requests
for information where the cost of dealing with them would exceed the
appropriate limit of 18 hours. This represents the estimated time and cost
of one person spending 18 hours in determining whether the Council holds
the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the information.

We estimate that it will take us in excess of 18 hours to determine
appropriate material and locate, retrieve and extract the information in
reference to your request. Therefore, your request will not be processed
further. 

You may wish to refine your request by narrowing its scope by being more
specific about what information you particularly wish to obtain, including
any teams, officers and/or service area involved in these communications.

On the 30th September, you requested to ‘narrow the searches to “Turley”
and “Arch Holdings” since 2019’

The Council responded to your request for further information on the 28^th
October as below:

‘Under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, the authority
must state whether or not the information exists and I confirm that we do
hold the information requested.
 Please find the information you requested attached.’

On the 28th October, you requested an Internal Review stating the
following:

‘Can you check please.  This is missing correspondence and stored data
regarding Turley.’ With the added clarification of ‘There is
correspondence between your planning department and EWR engineering’
provided by you on the 31^st October.

The council has now concluded its review of the request. We have run a
search for emails containing 'EWR Engineering' and 'Turley' which has not
produced any results other than the ones relating to the FOI Request.
