The ICO have said that whilst a public authority can request a form is filled in, you are not obliged to do this. The Council have received your request for information sent via WhatDoTheyKnow, and by law, they have to provide you with a response.
If they have not responded to you by the 20 working day deadline, you can complain to the ICO - https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/foi-...
We have blogged about the practice of public authorities insisting that requests are made via webforms here: https://www.mysociety.org/2022/08/01/pub...
