Dear West Devon Borough Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of West Devon Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Town and Country Planning Act 1990 section 215'.
I have not received a response to my FOI request.
Could you please advise me of the name and contact details of the
chair of the committee that oversees the work of the FOI team at
the council and also the name and contact details of the monitoring
officer of the council.
By law the council should have provided the information requested
by now.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/t...
Yours faithfully,
Peter C. Bell
Dear Mr Bell,
I am doing a follow-up for West Devon Borough Council on what appears to be an unresolved Internal Review (according to the 'What Do They Know' website) and apologise for the delay in our response.
Whilst we believe your Internal Review has been satisfactorily concluded, unfortunately it is not clear from searching our records whether this is the case, as we have updated our computer system in the meantime.
If you have received a satisfactory response from us, that's great - you don't need to do anything further.
If not and you still require the information in your initial FOI request, please open a new FOI request and we will endeavour to respond as quickly as possible.
Kind regards,
Mrs Sarah Hunt
Case Manager – Freedom of Information (FOI)
West Devon Borough Council
Dear Sarah Hunt,
I have resubmitted the FOI as you requested.
Yours sincerely,
Peter C. Bell

Dear Mr Bell,
Many thanks for your email and for kindly re-submitting your FOI requests.
I have allocated them to the Planning Department (although other
departments will likely have to be involved, given the nature of the
request) – they are aware you have been waiting a while for a response so
hope to get a response to you as soon as possible.
Kind regards,
Sarah
