Dear Richard roberts
Thank you for your request for information on 29th June about: FOIA
Request - Wales
Please see our responses below:
The Vale of Glamorgan Council does not charge any Council Tax premiums, so
the number of properties subject to a premium, and the additional tax
revenue raised as a result of premiums is zero in each year.
The number of 'Long Term Empty - Class C' properties is currently 782 ,
all of which are subject to the full Council Tax charge, with no discount
or exemption applied.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, 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: The Monitoring Officer, Civic
Offices, Holton Road, Barry, CF63 4RU.
Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
