Rate Reliefs Provided

The request was successful.

Dear Torridge District Council,

Could you please supply the following information regarding the Stevenstone Hunt, The Old Kennels,, Staplevale, Torrington, Devon EX38 8JD
This is not personal date as per section 40(2). The business is not a sole trader or partnership and information should therefore be released.

In a previous FOI request returned to me on 11 November 2020 Torridge DC provided historic information following an internal review back to 2006. This highlights that records are available for that timescale within Torridge DC .

Could I therefore ask for the following information under FOIA.

Dear FOI,

Thank you for you reply and confirmation that the Stevenstone Hunt did receive RATE RELIEF,

Could you please provide the 'relief' allowed as requested in the format. I appreciate that relief is not an actual payment as such. However, the relief allowed reduces the amount liable.

Yours sincerely,

P A GADD
