Dear Mr Will,
 
Further to your Freedom of Information Request, Log Number 180754, please
find attached an excel spreadsheet with the information you have
requested.
 
Please note that we have excluded details of privately owned homes from
this list under Section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act. 
 Section 40 (2) of the Act states that information is exempt from
disclosure if it constitutes the personal data of a third party and its
disclosure under the Act would breach any of the data Protection
principles or section 10 of the Data Protection Act (DPA).
The Council considers that the information is exempt from disclosure under
subsection 40 (2) for the following reasons:
 

 1. The requested information could lead to the identification of a third
party and is consequently considered the personal data of a third
party.  The definition of personal data is taken from Section 1 of the
DPA.

It is the Council’s view that: -

* Disclosing the data would be unfair to the individual concerned,

* Disclosure is considered incompatible with the purpose for which the
information was gathered.

 

 2. The Data Protection Act Principles - the council considers that
disclosure will contravene the first data protection principle, which
states that “ personal data shall be processed fairly and lawfully,
and in particular, shall not be processed unless –

 a. At least one of the conditions in schedule 2 is met, and
 b. In the case of sensitive personal data, at least one of the conditions
in Schedule 3 is also met.”
 c. 

The Council considers that disclosure will be unfair, as the requested
information held in relation to the individual was not intended for wider
public disclosure.

handled, you can request a review by writing to:
