Dear Sir / Madam
Freedom of Information Act 2000 This request is being handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Your Request
Please could you send me the report of the repairs survey made on 98
Riggendale Road by Savills on behalf of Lambeth in Nov 2023?
Please could you send me any other reports for the above property made within
the last five years?
Our Response
I can confirm that we have reviewed your request and we consider disclosure would
breach the Data Protection Act 2018 and therefore engage Section 40(2): Personal
Data to this request.
The definition of personal data is set out in provision 3 of the Data Protection Act 2018
as follows:-
(2)“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable living
individual
(3)“Identifiable living individual” means a living individual who can be identified, directly
or indirectly, in particular by reference to—
(a)an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data or an online
identifier, or
(b)one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental,
economic, cultural or social identity of the individual.
We note this request asks for information which would allow an individual(s) to be
identified.
I have considered whether it would be fair to disclose the information including whether
disclosure would cause any unnecessary or unjustified damage or distress to the
individual concerned; the individual’s reasonable expectations of what would happen to
their information; and balancing the rights and freedoms of the data subject with
legitimate interests.
In this case, I can confirm that it would not be fair to the individuals to disclose
information about property as it could cause distress to the individuals.
I do not consider that the individuals would expect the Council to disclose any
information which may allow them to be identified. Although I acknowledge the
legitimate interest in disclosing general information relating to their properties; I do not
consider the legitimate interest overrides the rights and freedoms of the individual on
this occasion.
In accordance with Section 17 FOIA this letter represents a Refusal Notice for this
request.
