Thank you for your email. This is to acknowledge receipt of your
request. Your request will be handled by an officer who will respond

In some circumstances a fee may be payable and if that is the case I will

I need to advise you that there are a number of exemptions under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 or Exceptions under the Environmental

however, be informed if this is the case and we will explain why.
