Dear Ms Jay
 
Request for Information
 
Thank you for your request received on 12 August 2019. This correspondence
is our acknowledgement of your request. Please note the reference number
and refer to it in any future correspondence.

Depending on the type of request, it will be handled under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, or
the Data Protection Act (DPA).

For Freedom of Information Act 2000 or Environmental Information
Regulations 2004, the statutory deadline is 20 working days. However, in
some cases, for Environmental Information Regulations 2004 the deadline
may be extended to 40 working days. If this is the case, we will write to
explain that to you.

For the DPA, the statutory deadline is one month. However, in some cases
the deadline can be extended. If this is the case, we will write to you
and explain why we are extending the deadline.

If you combine a FOI/EIR request with a DPA request, we will log each as a
separate request.

If we hold this information, we will let you know and in most cases supply
it to you.  You may request a particular format for receiving the
information and we will do our best to accommodate. In most cases, we will
respond by email or letter in 12 point Arial font.  If you have a
particular need to receive the material in a different format, please let
us know.

If you make a DPA request electronically, we will respond electronically.

In some cases, the information you request will be exempt from disclosure.
What this means is that the legislation allows the Council to refuse to
provide the information. Where this occurs, we will tell you the reasons
why and we will explain how to appeal that decision.

If your request refers to a third party, then they may be consulted about
disclosing the information before we decide whether to release the
information to you.  For example, if someone asks about a contract with a
supplier, we will contact the supplier to consider their views about
disclosing the information.

In some cases, we may require a payment to cover photocopying, postage, or
other production costs on requests that require large amounts of
photocopying. However, we will discuss this with you and look for ways to
provide the information in electronic formats if possible.  If a payment
is required, it must be provided before we can send you the information. 
If a payment is required, the 20 working day time limit for responses is
suspended until the payment is received.

We may also need to contact you to clarify your request. We are obliged to
do this under s.16 of the FOIA, which refers to the duty to provide advice
and assistance to applicants. When we ask to clarify your request, the 20
working day countdown stops until we hear back from you. If you have not
contacted us about the request within 30 calendar days, we will close it.

Please note that your request and our response may be put on the Council’s
disclosure log. What this means is that we keep a log of all the requests
and responses if anyone wants to look at them. When we put the request and
response on the log, we remove the applicant’s name and any personal
references. In any case, where personal information remains, it will be
done in accordance with the Data Protection Act (DPA).

Please note that DPA request do not have a disclosure log. They are never
placed in the public domain.
