Dear Mr Raja

Freedom of Information request: FOI-15285

Thank you for your email dated 22nd May 2018 in which you ask:
Please can you supply the full Liveable Neighbourhoods application made by the council to Transport of London (TFL) for the Greenwich Town Centre scheme, including all correspondence with TFL regarding the application.
Our response is as follows:

Please find attached the information requested above.

It is important to note that the scheme concepts included in the submission are derived from historic proposals for Greenwich Town Centre. These proposals predate the new Liveable Neighbourhood Guidance, the Healthy Streets approach, London Cycling Design Standards and other important guidance documents that determine the standards to which this scheme will be delivered. As such, the drawings included are not representative of the level of service that is intended for pedestrians and cyclists in particular through the delivery of the new Liveable Neighbourhood Scheme. The Royal Borough of Greenwich look forward to engaging local residents and stakeholders on the updated proposals for the town centre following modelling work that is currently underway.

The Council has applied Section 40(2) – Personal Information - of the FOI Act to the correspondence with TfL.

(1) Any information to which a request for information relates is exempt information if it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is the data subject.
(2) Any information to which a request for information relates is also exempt information if—
(a) it constitutes personal data which do not fall within subsection (1), and
(b) either the first or the second condition below is satisfied.
(3) The first condition is—
(a)in a case where the information falls within any of paragraphs (a) to (d) of the definition of “data” in section 1(1) of the Data Protection Act 1998, that the disclosure of the information to a member of the public otherwise than under this Act would contravene—
(i )any of the data protection principles, or
(ii) section 10 of that Act (right to prevent processing likely to cause damage or distress), and
(b) in any other case, that the disclosure of the information to a member of the public otherwise than under this Act would contravene any of the data protection principles if the exemptions in section 33A(1) of the Data Protection Act 1998 (which relate to manual data held by public authorities) were disregarded.
(4)The second condition is that by virtue of any provision of Part IV of the Data Protection Act 1998 the information is exempt from section 7(1)(c) of that Act (data subject’s right of access to personal data).

The withheld information is the personal data of a data subject. The Council believes that disclosure of the information would not be in the reasonable expectations of the data subject and therefore all emails, names, and telephone numbers have been redacted.

If you have any queries about this correspondence, please contact me, quoting the reference number above.

If you are not satisfied with our response to your request, you can ask for an Internal Review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original request. If you wish to do this, please contact us, setting out why you are dissatisfied.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the Internal Review, 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 Council. You can contact the ICO by emailing [email address], or by post at Customer Contact, Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely,
