Subject: Freedom of Information Act request - ref: NCC-047847-20
Dear Mr Harris
I am writing to you in reply to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request to Nottinghamshire County Council for a list of documents relating
to works at Halloughton Road, Southwell.
I can confirm that the Council may hold some of this information. However
it is not held in a format that allows it to be readily extracted or
produced in a list format. To do so would require the searching and
reading of hundreds of pieces of correspondence.
You may be aware that there is a statutory limit to the amount of time
authorities are required to spend in order to comply with a request. This
is defined in the Appropriate Limit and Fees Regulations as 18 hours.
We estimate that it will take one officer in excess of this limit to
locate and retrieve the information you have requested. Therefore in
accordance with Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act we will not
be able to provide this information.
If you have any queries or concerns then please contact me. Please
remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision,
you should write to the Team Manager, Complaints and Information Team,
County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 7QP or e-mail
[1][Nottinghamshire County Council request email].
Yours sincerely

Dear FOI,
Following your latest response, can you please allocate an officer to start the process of sifting the documents and listing them for a maximum of fifteen hours and the sending me the results. It would be appropriate if the first list was the available information available electronically and then working backwards in time from the last communication that was received or sent on paper based material.
There is local concern about the way in which the issue was and is being handled by the NCC and it would be reassuring if at least some of this information was available for public scrutiny.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Harris
Dear Mr Harris
I am writing to you in reply to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request to Nottinghamshire County Council for information about works at
Halloughton Road.
Your request was originally refused in accordance with Section 12 of FOIA,
and you subsequently requested that we work up to fifteen hours on your
request.
Where a public authority estimates that the work will exceed the
appropriate limit (Section 12), it is not obliged to carry out work up to
that limit, therefore we will not be able to provide the information.
If you have any queries or concerns then please contact me. Please
remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision,
you should write to the Team Manager, Complaints and Information Team,

Dear John,
Whilst I accept your argument, although I am not happy about it - given the very serious concern about how the NCC have behaved in the substantive matter that I have raised and despite repeated suggestions for reducing the scope of the request, I am finding it difficult to get below the time allocation that your officers have indicated it would take. Can you suggest ways in which the information can be obtained even if this was limited?
Yours sincerely,
Peter Harris
Dear FOI,
Have you any response to my previous letter sent on July 19, please?
Yours sincerely,
Peter Harris
Dear Mr Harris
Thank you for your e-mail below.
I think the best way forward with your request would be for you to be more specific as to what information you are looking for; you refer to 'how NCC have behaved' - is there a specific incident which concerns you?
Without refining you request along these lines, unfortunately it will be difficult to help you further with your request.
Yours sincerely
