Dear Mr Roberts,

Thank you for your FOI enquiry. Please see our response below.

The local authority guidance issued in December 2021 requires each local
authority to design the discretionary relief scheme in their area. Please
provide details of the parameters and application process in your borough
as we have clients who wish to pursue the relief.

This information is published on our website at [1]A guide to rates relief
and reductions - Local discretionary rate relief - East Devon

As this information is published already it is exempt under Section 21 of
the FOI Act 2000 - Information reasonably accessible to the applicant by
other means.

I hope this information is helpful but, if you feel dissatisfied with the
way we have responded to your request, please contact our Monitoring
Officer, Mr Henry Gordon Lennox, to request an internal review
[email address]

You may also approach the Information Commissioner for advice at
www.ico.org.uk

Kind regards,

Sara
