Dear Mr Shepherd

 

Further to your Freedom of information enquiry of 26 April 2017

I believe that there is a covenant relating to the sale of Rookery House
in Rookery Park, Birmingham (B24) and I would like a copy please.

Or alternatively the details of how to see the original. (Or a copy).

 

I would respond as follows. 

Your enquiry has made reference to ‘the sale of Rookery Park House”, yet
the council remains the current owner.  Your enquiry has therefore been
related to the original sale of the property to Birmingham City Council. 

Your enquiry has been made with reference to the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA), I would advise you that the Council does hold the information
you have requested and is exempt from disclosure by virtue of Section 39.
Section 39 of the FOIA provides an exemption for information that falls
within the scope of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (the
EIR) that give rights of public access to environmental information held
by public authorities.

 

Information is environmental if it meets the definition set out in
regulation 2 of the  EIR. Regulation 2(1)(a) covers the state of the
elements of the environment including water, soil, land and landscape.
Regulation 2(1)(c) provides that information is environmental where it is
on: “measures (including administrative measures),such as policies,
legislation, plans, programmes, environmental agreements, and activities
affecting or likely to affect the elements and factors referred to in
[2(1)](a) and (b) as well as measures or activities designed to protect
those elements.”

 

Title Deeds, and Land Registry documentation is information about a piece
of land, and this includes measures affecting it such as covenants, or
rights of way etc. It’s essentially,   environmental information relating
to registration of land, which can be seen as information on a measure –
namely the process of registering of land – that is likely to affect the
land itself. Therefore how a piece of land is registered, and to whom, is
likely to affect the use of that land and have a direct effect on it.

 

In accordance with our duty under R9(1) of the Environmental Information
Regulations to advise and assist, we can confirm that the requested
information is available at the following website

The details of the councils title to this land including the covenant
referred to is available here

If subsequently you are not satisfied with the Council’s decision you may

cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure
provided by the Council. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at
