Complete Non-Residential / Business Property Rates Data (Q1 2019)
Gavin Chait made this Freedom of Information request to Teignbridge District Council as part of a batch sent to 8 authorities This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
Dear Teignbridge District Council,
In terms of the Freedom of Information Act of 2000, and subject to section 40(2) on personal data, could you please provide me with a complete and up-to-date list of all business (non-residential) property rates data for your local authority, and including the following fields:
- Billing Authority Property Reference Code (linking the property to the VOA database reference)
- Firm's Trading Name (i.e. property occupant)
- Full Property Address (Number, Street, Postal Code, Town)
- Occupied / Vacant
- Date of Occupation / Vacancy
- Actual annual rates charged (in Pounds)
If you are unable to provide an absolute “Occupation / Vacancy” status, please provide the Exemptions and / or Reliefs that a particular property may be receiving.
Please provide these data as machine-readable as either a CSV or Microsoft Excel file, capable of re-use, and under terms of the Open Government Licence (meaning reuse for any and all purposes, including commercial).
I last requested this data three months ago, and this is a request for an updated and current dataset.
I'm sure you get many requests for business rates and responding and managing these FOIs must be costly for you. Could I request that - as 71% of local authorities now do - you update and release this dataset via a dedicated page on your local authority website or on an open data service. I can recommend approaches for you to consider, and you should find that this reduces the time and cost of this request process.
Yours faithfully,
Gavin Chait

Dear Mr Chait,
Further to your request for information, see report attached, this is our most up-to-date list. Please note, due to the high volume of these FOI requests we are updating the business rates reports on a quarterly basis, end of each of these months: January, April, July, October please contact us then if you require an updated list.
Therefore I need to advise that Section 22 applies, information intended for future publication.
If you disagree with my decision or are otherwise unhappy with how I have dealt with your request, you may ask for a review of my decision within 40 days. The review will be undertaken by the appropriate Service Manager, who will provide you with a written explanation of the outcome.
If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint once this procedure has been followed, you have a right to appeal to the Information Commissioner (ICO). Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision until the Service Manager has undertaken a review. The Information Commissioner can be contacted for a copy of their complaint form at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF, www.ico.gov.uk or by telephone 0303 123 1113.
Kind regards.
