Dear Jonty Wareing
Re: Freedom of Information Requests: “
I would like to request any pitch documents and
feasibility studies you hold on the "ABOUT US", “DANDELION”, “DREAMACHINE”,
“GALWAD”, “GREEN SPACE DARK SKIES”, “OUR PLACE IN SPACE”, “POLINATIONS”,
“STORYTRAILS” and “TOUR DE MOON” installations commissioned as part of the "Unboxed:
Creativity in the UK" festival (previously known as "Festival 2022").
With reference to your requests for information pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(“FOIA”, “the Act”) dated 29th April 2022, our initial responses dated 3rd May 2022, and your Internal
Review Requests dated 23rd September 2022, after an extensive review to understand the costs
involved in responding to each of your requests we have concluded that we are entitled to turn down
your request to provide this information under section 12 of the Act.
We have calculated this by combining the costs of complying with the nine identical requests relating
to nine of our Commissions lodged by you, which we are entitled to do as all nine requests were
lodged within 60 days of each other. We have concluded that the total costs to respond to these nine
requests would exceed the “appropriate limit” identified in section 12 of the Act. The amount of time
required to compile the information requested would be detrimental to the delivery of the projects.
As we have already complied with your identical request for SEE MONSTER we were able to calculate
the costs of complying with that request and believe that the costs of complying with these additional
nine requests would be the same or similar, allowing us to reach the conclusion expressed above.
As a result, I can confirm that these requests are now closed.
Yours sincerely
