Dear T Goodhew,

Environmental Information Regulations request

I am writing regarding your Freedom of Information Act.

FCHO transferred from the ownership of Oldham Council in February 2011.
FCHO is a Co-operative and Community Benefit Society and is registered
with the Financial Conduct Authority as a Mutual Society. FCHO is a ‘not
for profit’ housing association and is an exempt Charity regulated and
accountable to the Regulator of Social Housing.

You seek information from FCHO under the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004. Please note that the said Regulations relate to
environmental information as defined and set out at regulation 2 (1). Your
request for details relating to statistics on empty homes does not fall
within the definition of environmental information.

Your request for information should in fact be made under The Freedom of
Information Act 2000 which provides public access to information held by
public authorities as defined in section 3 of the Act. Unfortunately,
however, First Choice Homes Oldham is not classed as a public body under
the said Act and it is therefore not legally obliged to provide any
information to you.

Yours sincerely,

Mohammed Yasser (Solicitor)

Head of Legal Services

I may send you messages outside of ‘normal’ working hours at a time that
suits me as part of my working arrangements. Please don’t feel any
pressure to get back to me outside of your own work schedule. Thanks
