Derbyshire Dales District Council, Town Hall, Matlock, Derbyshire DE4 3NN,
rather than Bakewell Town Council, is the responsible authority equipped
for the technical investigation of this type of complaint so it is not
possible for us to provide meaningful responses with regard to a breakdown
of the figures nor provide guidance or applicable criteria used in their
assessment.

I trust this provides the information requested but if not or you would
like to discuss the matter further with me please do not hesitate to
contact me.
