Dear Shafim Kauser,
That's great, thank you. I look forward to your response in due course.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Corti
I refer to your request submitted as follows:
Please provide the following data regarding compliance with Part F of the
Building Regulations for works overseen by your Building Control Body
within the last 12 months:
1) total number of domestic properties for which building regulations
approval was sought
2) the number of these which included installation of a mechanical
ventilation system within the meaning of Part F
3) of this number, the number which
a) included the Commissioning Notice required in Part F section 4.42 "Air
flow rate testing and commissioning of ventilation systems"
b) included a flow rate test
I confirm that the total number of properties for which building
regulations approval was sought for the period 28 February 2018 to 28
February 2019 is 348
Of these, all would require an installation of a mechanical and
ventilation system within the meaning of Part F.
The rest of the information is not held in a manner that can be located
without undertaking a manual search of each of the 348 files.
A sample search undertaken reveals that each file requires a manual check
of the specification to ascertain whether the testing was requested and a
further manual examination of the file to ascertain the testing
information. The files hold a large amount of information so this
information is not readily and easily accessible. We are also unable to
conduct any automated searches that would enable us to extract the
information.
Therefore, I wonder if you are able to narrow the period of the search so
that the information may be reviewed within the time period allowed.
I apologise for the delay in responding to your request but officers have
attempted to extract the information to assist with your enquiry but it
has not been possible to undertake this without a significant amount of
resource being utilised.
If you would like to discuss the matter with me, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Dear Shafim Kauser,
Thanks for your response.
If you could give me some data from a smaller (but recent) time period, that would be great - thank you. I'm unsure what time period would be realistic for you to extract data for, so I'll leave the exact period to you. Some statistically-significant number would be good, if possible.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Corti
