Old Roar Gill – Landslip to rear of Foxcote and Penhurst – works carried out in last 10 years
Dear Hastings Borough Council,
There has been a significant landslip in Old Roar Gill to the rear of houses in Foxcote and Penhurst Close. The banks of the gill , the footpath and residents gardens have been affected.
Residents report that land has been slipping for some time starting on the council owned slopes of Old Roar Gill. They report that there have been repairs made to the footpath and fence on a number of occasions without addressing the erosion problem of the banks.
Residents report that the problem started on the streamside of the footpath fence near the edge of the bridge a number of years ago. The slope and footpath were affected as a result of the progressive erosion of the bank which the council have failed to properly address. Watercourses need to be properly maintained to prevent the erosion of that bank
Residents report that the council has known about the slippage there for a number of years and has not addressed the problem. The use of treatment to remove the knotweed on that area in the past may also have contributed to the problem by damaging the root and eco system..
Residents report that the bank that has now collapsed had a slip some time back before lockdown and lost much of its mature vegetation. The council came along and undertook some works erecting a new fence and repairing the path. The vegetation had not fully re-established itself. The council who owns the Gill did not address the root cause of the previous slip,
Please provide under EIR the following information (in any form including emails. Internal and external correspondence) concerning:
1. Details of all works carried out in the vicinity of the landslip (including the gill,footpath, fence and slopes) over the last ten years
2. Details of all site visits and investigations in the vicinity of the landslip (including the gill,footpath, fence and slopes) over the last ten years
3. Copies of all reports, documents concerning this area in the vicinity of the landslip (including the gill,footpath, fence and slopes) over the last ten years
Yours faithfully,
Chris Hurrell

Dear Hastings Borough Council,
I wish to take this to review.
The request asks for details of works for the last 10 years. It is unlikely that all historic work details from several years ago can still be considered to be subject to the “course of justice/ safe space” exception . This refusal is a blanket refusal to release any information regardless. Dates of any works should be released and release of additional information should be considered on its own merits – not with a blanket refusal.
This request asks for details of site visits. Not all details of site visits over the last 10 years can be considered to be subject to the “course of justice/ safe space” exception, For example dates of site visits cannot possibly be considered to fall under this exception. This refusal is a blanket refusal to release any information regardless. Each site visit should be dated and release of additional information should be considered on its own merits – not with a blanket refusal.
The request asks for copies of reports/documents produced in the last 10 years. It is unlikely that all such historic documents from several years ago can still be considered to be subject to the “course of justice/ safe space” exception . Furthermore listing documents held cannot be considered subject to the “course of justice/ safe space” exception This refusal is a blanket refusal to release any information regardless. Each document should be named and release should be considered on its own merits – not with a blanket refusal.
Some documents are more recent and may be considered under the “course of justice/safe space” exception. However the public interest lies in the documents being released. The landslip is a matter of concern to residents affected by the landslip and to the wider public who use the park. The course of justice and safe space exceptions are outweighed by the wider public interest. Preventing release of the documents is harmful to HBCs reputation and suggests that HBC are attempting to conceal the causes of the landslip and any mitigation measures possible.
HBC have not properly explored the public interest test.

Dear Mr Hurrell
I refer to your email dated 12 April 2024 requesting an Internal Review
following our response to a recent Freedom of Information request ref:
FOIR-590101633 Subject: Old Roar Gill - Landslip to rear of Foxcote and
Penhurst - works carried out in last 10 years.
I have been asked, as a senior officer of the council who has not been
involved in your case to look into how we handled your request. Please
accept my apologies for the delay in responding.
Hastings Borough Council received the following request on 26 February
2024
There has been a significant landslip in Old Roar Gill to the rear of
houses in Foxcote and Penhurst Close. The banks of the gill , the footpath
and residents gardens have been affected.
Residents report that land has been slipping for some time starting on the
council owned slopes of Old Roar Gill. They report that there have been
repairs made to the footpath and fence on a number of occasions without
addressing the erosion problem of the banks.
Residents report that the problem started on the streamside of the
footpath fence near the edge of the bridge a number of years ago. The
slope and footpath were affected as a result of the progressive erosion
of the bank which the council have failed to properly address.
Watercourses need to be properly maintained to prevent the erosion of that
bank
Residents report that the council has known about the slippage there for a
number of years and has not addressed the problem. The use of treatment to
remove the knotweed on that area in the past may also have contributed to
the problem by damaging the root and eco system..
Residents report that the bank that has now collapsed had a slip some time
back before lockdown and lost much of its mature vegetation. The council
came along and undertook some works erecting a new fence and repairing the
path. The vegetation had not fully re-established itself. The council who
owns the Gill did not address the root cause of the previous slip,
Please provide under EIR the following information (in any form including
emails. Internal and external correspondence) concerning:
1. Details of all works carried out in the vicinity of the landslip
(including the gill,footpath, fence and slopes) over the last ten years
2. Details of all site visits and investigations in the vicinity of
the landslip (including the gill,footpath, fence and slopes) over the last
ten years
3. Copies of all reports, documents concerning this area in the
vicinity of the landslip (including the gill,footpath, fence and slopes)
over the last ten years
Hastings Borough Council responded on the 26 March 2024
NOTICE OF REFUSAL
Under Environmental Information Regulations the information you have
requested regarding Old Roar Gill – Landslip to rear of Foxcote and
Penhurst – works carried out in last 10 years is being refused under
Exception 12(5)(b) ‘The course of justice and inquiries’. The course of
justice has a wide meaning which includes material covered by Law
enforcement, investigations and proceedings.
This exception is subject to a Public Interest Test.
This means that a public authority can refuse to disclose information
under these exceptions if in all the circumstances of the case the public
interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in
disclosing the information.
Factors for disclosure:
• Transparency and accountability.
Factors against disclosure:
• The landslide at Old Road Gill is live and remains ongoing.
• Protecting information that has been acquired, being assessed and
reviewed during the ongoing investigations. If such information if
released could prove prejudicial or misleading if released.
• Allowing officers of the council to fully investigate the cause of the
landslide and assist residents during a major incident, without the
burden and distraction of requests for information.
• Internal communication can also refer to correspondence which contains
confidential and sensitive information.
• Consideration of options and the exchange of views within a ‘safe
space’.
• Maintaining the confidentiality of discussions in the interest of good
governance and the perceived threat and/or risk to candour and
boldness in the giving and exchanging of views or advice.
You requested an internal review on the 12 April 2024
I wish to take this to review.
The request asks for details of works for the last 10 years. It is
unlikely that all historic work details from several years ago can still
be considered to be subject to the “course of justice/ safe space”
exception . This refusal is a blanket refusal to release any information
regardless. Dates of any works should be released and release of
additional information should be considered on its own merits – not with a
blanket refusal.
This request asks for details of site visits. Not all details of site
visits over the last 10 years can be considered to be subject to the
“course of justice/ safe space” exception, For example dates of site
visits cannot possibly be considered to fall under this exception. This
refusal is a blanket refusal to release any information regardless. Each
site visit should be dated and release of additional information should
be considered on its own merits – not with a blanket refusal.
The request asks for copies of reports/documents produced in the last 10
years. It is unlikely that all such historic documents from several years
ago can still be considered to be subject to the “course of justice/ safe
space” exception . Furthermore listing documents held cannot be
considered subject to the “course of justice/ safe space” exception This
refusal is a blanket refusal to release any information regardless. Each
document should be named and release should be considered on its own
merits – not with a blanket refusal.
Some documents are more recent and may be considered under the “course of
justice/safe space” exception. However the public interest lies in the
documents being released. The landslip is a matter of concern to residents
affected by the landslip and to the wider public who use the park. The
course of justice and safe space exceptions are outweighed by the wider
public interest. Preventing release of the documents is harmful to HBCs
reputation and suggests that HBC are attempting to conceal the causes of
the landslip and any mitigation measures possible.
HBC have not properly explored the public interest test.

Review
I have now had the opportunity to review your request and agree with the
Information Officer’s original response.
In addition to the exception 12(5)(b) ‘The course of justice and
inquiries’ being applied, having looked at the amount of correspondence
held, I feel that this also falls under the exception of Environmental
Information Regulations (EIR) regulation 12(4)(b) Manifestly Unreasonable.
NOTICE OF REFUSAL
The information requested regarding Old Roar Gill - Landslip to rear of
Foxcote and Penhurst - works carried out in last 10 years is held however,
is being refused under Environmental Information Regulations (EIR)
regulation 12(4)(b) Manifestly unreasonable - the cost and burden of
dealing with the request is too great.
The request for correspondence over 10 years is a large amount of
information approx 1000 A4 sheets which is very time consuming and
resource heavy. This in turn will need studying carefully as other
exceptions under EIR may apply and also require printing, scanning and
redacting.
To comply with this request places an unreasonable burden on resources.
The burden put on the authority in dealing with this request puts a strain
on council resources effectively stopping them from dealing with other
requests in a timely and effective manner and other main stream services.
This exception is subject to a public interest test:
It has been estimated to manually check every sheet at 5 mins per sheet
calculates to 83.33 hours.
Hastings Borough Council are not resourced to undertake such an exercise
due to the time/cost to the organisation. The landslide at Old Roar Gill
remains ongoing, many officers of the council are involved and need to
concentrate to be able to fully investigate the cause of the landslide and
assist residents during a major incident, without the burden and
distraction of requests for information.
If you remain dissatisfied then you may complain to the Information
Commissioners Office (ICO) who will decide whether the Council has handled
your request correctly.

Dear Hastings Borough Council,
The refusal was taken to the Information Commissioner. The ICO have now produced a decision notice.
During the ICO process HBC dropped exception 12(5)(B) "course of justice" as a refusal reason
The ICO have upheld exception 12(4)(b) ."manifestly unreasonable" refusal reason on grounds of cost. HBC claim that there are around 1000 pages of information that would take 133 hours to process. This seems an excessive estimate. HBC have not explained why a previous EIR to obtain the same information resulted in a "no data held" refusal despite there being over 100o pages of information available.
The ICO have ruled that the Council failed to comply with its duty under regulation 9(1) to
offer advice and assistance to the complainant. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation.
• Provide the complainant with advice and assistance to help them to
submit a request that does not create a manifestly unreasonable
burden
"43. Regulation 9(1) requires a public authority to consider what advice and assistance it can reasonably provide to an applicant in cases where it relies on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR on the basis of burden. Even if this is simply to confirm to the complainant in a given case that no reasonable or practicable advice and assistance can be provided.
44. In this case the Council provided no such advice and assistance to the complainant.
45. The Commissioner, therefore, requires the Council to contact the complainant and provide advice and assistance as to how their request can be refined or focused so that it does not create an unreasonable burden"
I suggest that as a means to reducing the burden of time that HBC produce a summary of all information held for each occurrence of works/ site visits / investigations carried out in the vicinity of the landslip. The summary should be sufficient to allow me to identify individual occurrences.
The summary should include the following information:
.Date of the occurrence
.Summary Description of the information for this occurrence
.Pages of information held for this occurrence
The time taken to produce such a summary will certainly fall within the cost limits imposed by EIR regulations. A summary list will provide me with a view of what is held by HBC and will enable me to selectively request further details without imposing a cost burden on HBC.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Hurrell

Dear Mr Hurrell
I refer to a recent decision made by the Information Commissioners Office
(ICO) following your complaint to them regarding: FOIR-590101633 Subject:
Old Roar Gill - Landslip to rear of Foxcote and Penhurst - works carried
out in last 10 years.
I also refer to your email dated 24 October 2024 refining your original
request for information.
As directed by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) decision notice,
I am contacting you to offer help and assistance.
As you are aware there is a vast amount of information held in relation to
this request. Unfortunately, writing a summary of all information held
for each occurrence of works/ site visits / investigations carried out in
the vicinity of the landslip will not result in less work, as I would
still need to look at every email/document to provide such a list.
Having looked through the folders in which the emails/documents are held,
the folders have subject headings which I can provide to you along with
dates.
Please can you indicate if this is acceptable, if not, please can you
kindly advise exactly what you are seeking.

Dear Information Officer,
Thanks for your response.
You ask "please can you kindly advise exactly what you are seeking?"
I am asking for a simple list of all incidents/occurences that have happened in the vicinity of the landslip.
This will enable me to have a better understanding of any events that may be a factor in the landslip.
I understand that my initial request may have been too burdensome in terms of cost due to the need to redact every page of information held. I am no longer asking for full copies of documents. Just for a list of incidents over the last 10 years.
It seems unlikely that the production of a summary description of the information held would exceed 18 hours as you claim. You must have already have a reasonable view of the scope and contents of the documents held following the initial request , the review and the ICO review.
Notwithstanding this and in order to make the task less burdensome rather than a summary of the information I now ask for the following :
a description of the incident/ occurence, the date of the occurrence and the number of pages held for this occurence.
This will avoid you having to read all the detailed documents to produce a summarised description of the information . The time limit for EIRs is 18 hours. Providing a description of each incident/ occurence, the date and number of pages will not exceed this limit.
Please also supply the folder names as you have suggested. I am doubtful whether supplying folder names will help establish what occurrences/interventions have occured over the last 10 years. However please supply them in addition to the information requested above.
Yours sincerely,
Chris Hurrell

Dear Mr Hurrell
Following the Information Commissioners Decision Case Reference
IC-314244-G0G0 and your email dated 6 November 2024 refining your request:
A description of the incident/occurrence, the date of the occurrence and
the number of pages held for this occurrence over the last 10 years.
Please see table below with part of the requested information.
Unfortunately, due to the amount of information held, I am unable to
provide you with an accurate amount of page numbers of each
incident/occurrence. Due to a number of incidents/occurrences around the
same time, November 2018, April/May 2019 and September/October 2020 it is
too difficult to establish which piece of correspondence relates to the
individual incident/occurrence therefore would be misleading.
