Dear Mr Carruthers
Thank you for your request of information that is being considered. You
may be aware that we have 20 working days in which to respond to Freedom
Of Information (FOI) requests and you will therefore hear from me again
by 6 June 2013 or earlier if possible.
For your information, the Act defines a number of exemptions, which may
prevent release of the information you have requested. There will be an
assessment and if any of the exemption categories apply then some or all
of the information may not be released. You will be informed if this is
the case, including your rights of appeal.
If any of the information you have requested is not contained in a
recorded format, South Norfolk Council is not obliged to create
information for the purpose of responding to your request
There may be a fee payable for 'reasonable disbursement' costs such as
postage and photocopying. This will be considered and you will be
informed if a fee is payable. In this event the fee must be paid before
the information is processed and released. The 20 working day time limit
for responses is suspended until receipt of the payment.
If you have any queries or concerns then please let me know. If you do
contact us again concerning this request, please quote FOI 13-165.

Dear Mr Carruthers
I refer to your Freedom of Information request to which I am now in a
position to respond.
I attach copies of the invoices received from Radcliffe Chambers related
to transfer of land at Denton (please note that the blank pages are
intentional). I can advise that the Council holds no further information
relating to these payments.
With regard to contracts between Sprake and Kingsley Solicitors, I can
advise that there was no such contract and therefore under section
1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am advising you that
the Council does not hold the information you have requested. In
addition, the council did not receive any payments from Sprake and
Kingsley Solicitors.
I hope this is of assistance and is sufficient to meet your
requirements, but if, for whatever reason you wish to get back to me,
please feel free to do so. In particular if you are unhappy with the
information provided or how your request was handled please let me know
and I will explain how you can request an internal review of our
decision.
Please quote FOI 13-165 in any further correspondence concerning this
request.
Regards
Emma Nangle
