Dear Mr Lacey,

Thank you for your email. You have requested an internal review of your
FOI response. I am sorry that you were unhappy with the response provided.

[FOI #1209707 email]

Internal Review ref 669054493 - (FOI ref-668503188)

Dear Mr Lacey,

Thank you for your email. You have asked for an internal review of your
FOI response ref 668503188. I have reviewed your FOI enquiry, what was
sent to you and your email in response.

Your new request – ‘The council have clearly stated that
forestry/afforestation operations have time limits for what is considered
reasonably necessary for by law. Where in a GPDO is this stated and if it
is, how many hours in a year of forestry/afforestation operations for a
building to be considered reasonably necessary’.

Our response to this part of your original FOI request was that this
information was not held. You have asked open ended questions and under
FOI legislation this is not information that the council is obliged to
provide. FOIA only applies to information that a public authority already
holds in recorded form at the time of a request and is not required to
create information to satisfy an information request.

Therefore, your Freedom of Information request was answered correctly and
we are unable to provide the information you have requested as we do not
hold it.

I hope I have been able to clarify our position on this matter. If you
feel dissatisfied with my response to your request, you have the option to
refer matters to the Information Commissioner’s office at www.ico.org.uk

Regards,

Melanie Wellman
Monitoring Officer
