receiving your request. There may be a small number of occasions where we

highways. Your request will be logged by the Central FOI team and in most

progress your request until clarification has been received.

Under the Act, we will be unable to process any request where the actual

this is the case we will help you to narrow the request to take it under

as with certain environmental information, but we will let you know if
this applies.

the cost to the Council (not to the customer) ranging between �25 and �450

Dear Lucy,

Thank you for your further enquiry - I have sought a response from the
service in relation to your questions and have detailed their response
below.

1. The information I sought under Point 2 was whether the Highway
Authority was consulted and on what date.  You have responded with the
date that the Car Parks Team was consulted.  Please can you confirm.

The Highways Team were not consulted formally given that the highway that
provides access to the new parking area is not believed to be part of the
Cornwall Council adopted network.

2. The information I requested at Point 4 was as follows:  Was the capital
expenditure through a school condition allocation (SCA), devolved formula
capital (DFC), or another source (if so what source)?

The sources are explained on the DFE website.

In any given financial year, eligible schools can access funding through
either:

school condition allocations (SCA), with funds paid to eligible bodies
responsible for maintaining school buildings the condition improvement
fund (CIF), a bidding round with funds paid directly to single academy
trusts, small multi-academy trusts (MATs), small voluntary aided (VA)
bodies and sixth-form colleges In addition, devolved formula capital (DFC)
is allocated for individual schools and other eligible institutions to
spend on capital projects that meet their own priorities.

Please confirm which of these was the source of the capital expenditure of
works in the car park.

Clarity on the source of funding should be obtained from the school. 
Cornwall Council received no requests from the school to fund any part of
these specific works.

If you do have any further questions please let me know

With kind regards

Emily
