re: Freedom of Information Request no 1306

In response to your request I can confirm that we do not current have any
Commercial/Industrial properties which have been empty for more than 3
months, with a current rateable value greater than £170,000 that are
within the Lewes District.

I hope this answers your question satisfactorily. If, however, you are
unhappy with the way the District Council has handled your request you may
ask for an internal review. In the first instance you should contact
Catherine Knight, Head of Legal & Democratic Services, Lewes District
Council, Lewes House, 32 High Street, Lewes, BN7 2LX or email

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you then
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
FOI/EIR Complaints Resolution, Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe
House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
