Delivered

Dear Elmbridge Borough Council,
I’m currently in the process of compiling local authority information of addresses where non-traditional methods have been used.

Several mass building projects for local authority houses were constructed using prefabricated or in-situ techniques such as concrete or steel and often had trade names such as Reema, Wates, Cornish etc. These are both pre- and post-war. Some of these types were subject to further investigation under the Housing Act 1985.

I would be grateful if you could forward any information you hold of information relating to such dwellings in your local authority. Even if the information is limited, it would be of great use. Some local authorities have provided lists showing the road, number and type to assist with identification.

Yours faithfully,

Marc Buck

Ref No: 2022-23 FOI No. 414

 

Date: 16 Nov 2022

 

Dear Mr Buck

 

Thank you for your email of 14 November 2022 where you requested
information about Non-Traditional Housing Stock.

 

We do not hold information on non-traditional housing stock in the
borough.  The council transferred its housing stock to a newly formed
housing association in 2000 and whilst we know that some of those homes
were of non-traditional build, the information on which locations and
specific properties is no longer held by the council.  The stock
transferred to Elmbridge Housing Trust which is now part of PA Housing –
[1]www.pahousing.co.uk

 

Please be advised that this information is not held by Elmbridge Borough
Council and your request for information has not been forwarded.

 

The Council operates a presumption of openness in its access to
information.  It provides much information outside the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act and it will continue to do on a “business as
usual” basis.  Persons do not need to engage the statutory provisions to
access all reasonable information about the Council and its services.

 

If, for whatever reason, you are unhappy with our response, you have the
right to 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 letter and should be addressed to Head of Legal Services,
Elmbridge Borough Council, Civic Centre, High Street, Esher, Surrey KT10
9SD. 

 

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

 

Should you then remain dissatisfied at the outcome of that process, you
are entitled to appeal against the decision by contacting:

 

The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. 

Telephone:  08456 30 60 60 or 01625 54 57 45

Website:  [2]www.ico.gov.uk

 

There is no charge for making an appeal.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Najah Ebbitt
