Dear David Lewis,

Your ticket 51677 has been updated.

Dear David
 
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request, dated 19th March 2024.
 
Please accept my apologies for bothering you. I would like to check
exactly which emails between the Planning Inspectorate and the Environment
Agency you are requesting, from January 2024.
 
Please could you confirm if you are seeking a list of ‘subject lines’
which relate to correspondence with the Environment Agency for a specific
appeal/application/order, or for all correspondence exchanged during that
period regardless of the case it relates to?
 
If it relates to a particular appeal which is currently in progress or
recently decided, please could you provide any details which would help us
identify the case – appeal reference, application reference, site address
or postcode.
If your request relates to all emails exchanged in January 2024, please
note that this will take longer to arrange than a request for a specific
case as the Planning Inspectorate holds appeal information in many
different areas and collaboration will be required with several different
teams/business areas.
 
The 20-working day deadline for our response is 17th April 2024 regardless
of the request and we will endeavour to respond to you at the earliest
opportunity.
 
Yours sincerely

Daniel Cardy
