Newham Council NNDR

We're waiting for Samantha Goodman to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Newham Borough Council,

I would like to request a spreadsheet or text file which contains information about National Non Domestic Rates, commonly referred to as Business Rates in Newham Borough.

Specifically, the list I seek is only for the properties for which the account holder is Newham Borough Council. Not for any other account holders.

I am looking for as much information as you hold about these specific non domestic properties in Newham Borough and the information you store about them related to business rates they pay.

I would like as much of this NNDR information as you hold and are able to disclose, including the following if possible:
-address of the property in question
-property description / type of property
-rateable value
-actual charge
-charitable reliefs
-discretionary reliefs
-empty exemptions
-empty reliefs
-mandatory reliefs
-Small Business Rates Relief (SBRR)
-including dates when exhemptions/reliefs started

Yours faithfully,

Samantha Goodman

Newham Borough Council

Dear Newham Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Newham Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Newham Council NNDR'.

This reply does not make sense considering the reply I received for my last FOI in which the council suggested I narrowed down my request. This is a standard reply which does not deal with my very specific request which is only asking for a limited amount of records specifically about the council, which could be obtained with a simple search.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/n...

Yours faithfully,

Samantha Goodman
