Dear Paul Thatcher,
Thank you for your request for information about Email communications
between the environment agency and ebc. The information you requested is
enclosed.

Dear Mr Thatcher

You have requested the following information: “email communications
between the environment agency and yourselves associated with moorings in
Elmbridge, to include cherry orchard gardens, unconsented moorings and/or
the environment agency stating that they will bring legal action at the
end of October to claim land from 01/10/2022 to today's date.”

Please find attached the information requested. It contains communications
between the Environment Agency (EA) and the Council. To clarify we have
not included information that has been sent to the Council for the
attention of the EA from third parties as this is not communications
between the EA and the Council. The attached has been redacted and does
not include all correspondence relating to Cherry Orchards because
exemptions are engaged in relation to that information under s30 and s31
(investigations and prejudice to law enforcement), s41 (confidentiality)
and section 40(1) (personal data) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

These exemptions are subject to the public interest test, with the
exception of s40 which is an absolute exemption. There is a general
presumption in favour of disclosure unless factors strongly suggests
otherwise. To disclose would prejudice the officer(s) carrying out their
investigations and regulatory enforcement effectively and prejudice the
voluntary disclosure of information by those with a reasonable expectation
that this information is given in confidence and would not be disclosed

yours sincerely
Elmbridge Borough Council

The Council operates a presumption of openness in its access to
information. It provides much information outside the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act and it will continue to do on a “business as
usual” basis. Persons do not need to engage the statutory provisions to
access all reasonable information about the Council and its services.

If, for whatever reason, you are unhappy with our response, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed to Head of Legal Services,
Elmbridge Borough Council, Civic Centre, High Street, Esher, Surrey KT10
9SD.

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

Should you then remain dissatisfied at the outcome of that process, you
are entitled to appeal against the decision by contacting:
The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
