Dear Mr Hanstad-Pilcher,

Environmental Information Regulations 2004 Response

Further to our acknowledgement we can now respond to your request for
information dated 20/08/2018.

We have dealt with your request in accordance with our ‘duty to make
available environmental information on request’ under part 2 (5)
Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIRs), which entitles you to
be provided with a copy of any information ‘held’ by a public authority.

Please note that under part 3 of the EIRs a public authority may refuse to
disclose environmental information if an exception under Regulation 12 (4)
or 12 (5) applies  and in all the circumstances of the case the public
interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in
disclosing the information.

In your email of 20/08/2018 you asked:

“Would you please supply to me, on behalf of many people here in Rusper
area, a copy of the procedures you are expected to follow to enforce
non-compliance with your own planning decisions”
