Thank you for your information request received today.

 

I am currently reviewing your request and investigating whether there is
any information available for disclosure.  The Council, in accordance with
Section 10 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’), will reply
to your request promptly and in any event not later than the twentieth

In accordance with section 8(1)(b) of the Act and related guidance from

treat any request for information as invalid unless the requester supplies
their real name.  In such cases, the Council may request proof of
identity.

and I will do my best to provide the relevant help and advice.

 

Kind Regards

Dear Ms. Roberts,

 

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request dated 7 October 2019 
which has been registered under reference FOI 10011.

 

I wish to see any documentation available regarding all matters relating
to Planning Application LW/19/0474 Manor Nursery. 

 

These matters include but are not limited to emails, minutes of meetings,
correspondence, transcripts, officers' notes, etc. including all those
related to any PRE-application discussions between Lewes District Council
and the Applicant prior to 19th July 2019 registration of LW/19/0474.

 

As the Council has concerns over the receipt of anonymous and, possibly,
pseudonymous requests, it has decided to tighten procedures and reserves
the right to ask for proof of identity. Therefore I would appreciate it if
you could provide, electronically or otherwise, some proof of your
identity.

 

The usual forms of proof such as passport, drivers licence or a utility
bill are acceptable but other formats will be considered as long as they
demonstrate the genuine identity of the requestor.

 

A request for information must contain the ‘real name’ and address of the
requestor:

 

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Section 8(1)(b):

 

In this Act any reference to a “request for information” is a reference to
such a request which—

 

        “…states the name of the applicant and an address for
correspondence”

 

I have attached the ICO guidance (Identity or motives of the applicant)
and would draw your attention to the section on page 4.

 

For your information all Planning information can be found through our
link –

Alternatively, you are entitled to appeal to the Information Governance
Appeals Officer -

Email: [2][email address]

 

In the meantime your request has been put on hold until I receive your
reply.  If I do not hear from you within 30 working days of the date of
this email I will assume that you no longer wish to proceed with your
information request, and will take no further action.

 

Regards,

Dear Ms. Roberts,

 

Information Request:  FOI 10011

 

Thank you for your information request dated 7 October 2019 received in
our office on the same day.

 

I wish to see any documentation available regarding all matters relating
to Planning Application LW/19/0474 Manor Nursery. 

 

These matters include but are not limited to emails, minutes of meetings,
correspondence, transcripts, officers' notes, etc. including all those
related to any PRE-application discussions between Lewes District Council
and the Applicant prior to 19th July 2019 registration of LW/19/0474.

 

 

I have reviewed your request and investigated whether there is any
information which can be disclosed to you.  Please find below the
information the council holds, and which I am pleased to provide to you.

 

I have had confirmation today that planning application LW/19/0474 has
been withdrawn and will not be determined.

 

I trust that this deals with your enquiry to your satisfaction, but if you
feel that Lewes District Council has misunderstood or not responded
appropriately to your request, you have two courses of action:

 

o You can clarify the terms of your original request to allow this to be
looked at again  (if you expand your request this will be dealt with
as a new request)
o All applicants have a 'right of appeal'.  An appeal should be focused
on the original request and should identify how the council’s response
failed to answer your Information Request.  Appeals must be made in
writing (or e-mail) within 40 working days of receipt of this response
and addressed to the Information Governance Appeals Officer, to the
address below. 

 

Information Governance Appeals Officer

Lewes District Council and Eastbourne Borough Council

1 Grove Road

EASTBOURNE

BN21 4TW     

                                  

E-mail  : [1][email address]

 

After the council’s internal appeals procedure has been exhausted, a
further appeal about the same Information Request can be directed to the
Information Commissioner for adjudication.  Full details will be provided
should an appeal proceed to this stage.

 

Please note:

If you are considering re-using the information disclosed to you through
this request, for any purpose outside of what could be considered for
personal use, you are required under the Public Sector Re-use of
Information Regulations 2015 to make an Application for Re-use to the
organisation you have requested the information from.  Applications for
Re-Use should be directed to the address detailed in the footer below.

 

Please contact me again, quoting your reference number, if you require any
further assistance with your current request and I will do my best to
provide the relevant help and advice.

 

 

Regards,
