Thank you for your e-mail, requesting that certain information is made available to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000/Environmental Information Regulations 2004. The Council has now started to process your request.

The Council always aims to disclose information as quickly as possible. However, if for some reason we cannot complete your request within 20 working days (ie by 25/04/2023) we will write to you again before that date to explain why and to let you know when you will receive the information. Please remember that documents sent by post may take few extra days to reach you.

The Council will normally disclose all the information which you have requested unless there is a good reason for not doing so. If any information will not be disclosed because it is exempt, we will write to you and explain why. Please note that, whilst the Council will disclose documents which already exist and which contain the information which you have requested, the Council is not required to compile documents specifically to deal with your request.

Once the information has been identified, the Council can also ask that you pay a fee to cover the costs of any printing, photocopying, postage, etc., for processing and delivering the information to you. Details of any fee to be paid will be notified to you as soon as possible.

If you are dissatisfied with this response, then you may ask the Council to conduct an internal review of your case by writing to the Council’s FOI Team ([Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council request email]). If you are still not content after the Council has conducted an internal review of your case, then you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner (ICO) for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the internal review procedure provided by the Borough Council.

The Information Commissioner can be contacted in writing at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Dear Lis,

Re: FOI 23/223

I refer to your request for information dated 26 March 2023 and given the
reference number above. I have considered this request under the
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOIA”).

You requested the following information from the Council:

How many 3 bed houses in the tonbridge and malling district that are empty
and are awaiting to go onto the bidding site kenthomechoice? And are
awaiting tenants?

I can confirm that we do not hold this information. The properties that
are usually advertised on Kent Homechoice are owned by social housing
providers not the Council. For information the main social housing
provider within Tonbridge & Malling BC is Clarion Housing Group.

Internal Review

If you are dissatisfied with this response, you can request an internal
review of the decision by making a request to [1][Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council request email].

Complain to the Information Commissioner

If you are not content after the Council has conducted an internal review
of your case, then you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner
(ICO) for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted in
writing at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely
