Dear Hannah Jewell

Thank you for your recent request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. The answer to your question is as follows:

1. What is the energy efficiency of the council's homes (managed or owned
by the council)? Please provide either a distribution table with the
number of buildings for each EPC rating or the percentage of the council’s
homes that have received an EPC rating of C or above.

ANSWER : We have a very small portfolio, gradually building up (stock
transfer in 2007).  At the moment we have 9 at a B and 2 homes without
valid EPC as they are in the process of being retrofitted or are empty
awaiting retrofitting.

100% of owned homes with an EPC are above C

2. What is the number of investigations, enforcement notices and
enforcement actions that the council did, related to MEES (Minimum Energy
Efficiency Standards) in the 2021/22 financial year. Where data is
available separately for each statistic please provide separately. If only
some information is available, please give me that information. I would
prefer to receive information in a machine readable format, such as CSV
files for data, where possible.

ANSWER : Between 1/4/21-31/3/22 we actioned 120 properties which did not
meet MEES (F&G) and were lodged on the EPC register as private rented.

Of the 120:

We served 34 compliance notices.

20 require follow ups/further action or cannot contact owner

5 with work in progress

9 properties are now holiday lets

7 have sitting/pre reg tenants or the EPC has expired during a long
tenancy

35 are now owner occupied

1 estate in probate

4 exemptions have been registered

28 properties have complied with MEES

7 are empty waiting to be sold or are undergoing refurbishment

1 is let on a commercial ease with a GF shop

1 no longer exists and is now part of the main house ( was a wing)

1 property has been demolished

1 is now a day care nursery

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
