Can you please provide me with the information I requested. This is now overdue.

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST X04-2592

 

We refer to your email dated 4 October 2020 which contained a request for
information as set out in italics below.  Following consideration of your
request, in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I respond
to each point as follows:

 

I am researching the impact Covid-19 has had on the construction industry
and I would like the following information please- All successful planning
applications for 5 or more domestic dwellings passed since January 2019.

The name of the building contractor that applied for the planning
application.

Planning applications for both private and social housing developments.

 

Whilst the Council confirms that it holds the requested information, it
considers the information to be exempt under Section 21 of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 which states:

 

Information accessible to applicant by other means.

 

(1)Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise
than under section 1 is exempt information.

 

(2)For the purposes of subsection (1)—

 

(a)information may be reasonably accessible to the applicant even though
it is accessible only on payment, and

 

(b)information is to be taken to be reasonably accessible to the applicant
if it is information which the public authority or any other person is
obliged by or under any enactment to communicate (otherwise than by making
the information available for inspection) to members of the public on
request, whether free of charge or on payment.

 

(3)For the purposes of subsection (1), information which is held by a
public authority and does not fall within subsection (2)(b) is not to be
regarded as reasonably accessible to the applicant merely because the
information is available from the public authority itself on request,
unless the information is made available in accordance with the
authority’s publication scheme and any payment required is specified in,
or determined in accordance with, the scheme.

 

The information is available via the search function on the Council’s
Planning webpage.  Please see hyperlink below to assist.

the handling of the request, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 you
have the right to request a review of the Council’s response to your
request for information.  If you wish to request a review, please write to
the below address or email [2][Bridgend County Borough Council request email] .  Following ICO
guidance, a request for a review must be made within 2 months of a
response being received.
