Your request for review must include:

 

● your name and address (an email address is fine)

● the reference number for your original request for information

● your reason(s) for requesting a review

 

Appealing to the Scottish Information Commissioner for a decision

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your request for an internal
review, you can apply directly to the Office of the Scottish Information
Commissioner (OSIC) for a decision. Generally, OSIC cannot make a decision
unless you have been through the ACC’s review procedure. To make an
application to OSIC, please write or email OSIC at:

 

The Office of the Scottish Information Commissioner

Kinburn Castle

Doubledykes Road

St Andrews Fife

KY16 9DS

An application to OSIC must be made in writing within six months of
receipt of ACC’s Review Decision Notice.  When applying to OSIC for a
decision you should give your name and address for correspondence.  Please
note that OSIC will not be able to investigate if you have not used your
real name to make your information request. You must also specify:

 

● which request for information your requirement for review relates to

● the reason that you asked ACC to carry out a review of your request

● the reason why you are not satisfied with ACC's review outcome decision

 

The Commissioner will contact ACC and invite its comments on your
application.  Thereafter (if no settlement has meantime been reached), the
Commissioner must reach a decision within 4 months of receiving your
application, or within such other period as is reasonable.  You will
receive written notice of the outcome of the Commissioner’s decision.

 

Should you wish to appeal against the Scottish Information Commissioner's
decision, there is an appeal to the Court of Session on a point of law
only. Any such appeal must be made within 42 days after the date of the
decision has been issued.

Dear Mr Smith,

 

Thank you for your information request of 28 November 2017.  Aberdeen City
Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information
requested.

 

Please provide a dataset of School Catchment Areas in Geo-json format

Please see attached.

 

Please note that the format held on our corporate system is ArcgGIS Shape
file. Unfortunately, this information is not held in the format you
requested, nor is it possible for us to input the information into the
format you have requested.

 

ACC is unable to provide you with information on a dataset of School
Catchment Areas in Geo-json format as it is not held by ACC.  In order to
comply with its obligations under the terms of Section 17 of the FOISA,
ACC hereby gives notice that this information is not held by it. 

 

We hope this helps with your request.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Grant Webster

Information Compliance Officer

Dear Foi Enquiries,

Thank you for providing these Arc GIS Shape Files.

You stated that " Please note that the format held on our corporate system is ArcgGIS Shape
file. Unfortunately, this information is not held in the format you
requested, nor is it possible for us to input the information into the
format you have requested."

This is not correct. It is a straightforward matter in ARC GIS to output data as GeoJson (and your CAG Custodian has done this many times in the past for other purposes). Here are instructions:
http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-re...

I would be obliged if you would either supply the data in this format or arrange for a review of this decision, and confirm when it is eventually supplied that it has been provided under an OGL licence.

Yours sincerely,

George Smith
ODI Aberdeen
