Dear Mr Irwin,

Colleagues have passed onto this office your recent request for access to
the personal data the council processes about you.  In order for us to
process your request further we require additional information from you,
the details of which can be found here

[1]http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/info/200321...

Further, in order for us to process your request we would ask that you be
as specific as you can be as a request which is not so may be refused on
the grounds that it be manifestly excessive which means we feel it would
take too much resource to fulfil your request.

Kinds regards

Dear Jon

As you mention that the wider issue at hand is to ensure that the Council
has acted appropriately under FOI, I would reiterate your rights of appeal
under the Act.  These can be found at the end of the Council’s response to
your request.

Prior to deciding whether or not to request an internal review of the
Council’s decision, you may wish to review the ICO’s guidance on the
aggregation of FOI applications for the purposes of costs calculations. 
This can be found at pg 12 of this document:
[1]https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisatio....

With respect to your specific request to obtain copies of correspondence
relating to your requests, the appropriate channel to do so would be a
Subject Access Request under the GDPR, as the correspondence would be
about you individually.  Information on the reason for this can be found
at pg 10, here:
[2]https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisatio....

Please advise how you would like to proceed.

I’d be happy to discuss if you would like to provide contact details.  I
would just flag – and I’m sure you are aware of this – that providing them
by replying to this note would make them  public on the wdtk site.

Kind regards

Adam

Subject: Re: FW: Freedom of Information request - Decision regarding FOI
cost exemption limit - Jon Irwin - SAR

Dear SARW,

There may be a misunderstanding.

My request under FOI is to understand the decision making process that was
followed resulting in the decision being taken to refuse to respond to the
other FOI requests I had made.

Perhaps in order to make it easier for colleagues, they could release the
email/letter where the decision was reached and the previous
emails/letters in March 2019 which led up to that decision.

The wider issue is about how the council can be held to account under FOI
or not as the case may be.

Yours sincerely,

Jon Irwin

Dear Jon

response?  If so, I will make the arrangements straight away.

Should you wish to pursue a SAR, please liaise with the SAR Team (on
