Dear Sir/Madam
Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
received on 05/Feb/2019. I have registered your request under reference
number FOI 05926 and would be grateful if you would please use this
reference and the email address [Eden District Council request email] on
any future correspondence relating to this request.
We aim to respond to your request no later than 05/Mar/2019.
Whilst it is the Council’s policy to provide information wherever
possible, I need to advise you that there are a number of exemptions under
the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which may prevent the release of some
or all of the information you have requested. Some exemptions are absolute

outweighs that in disclosing the information. You will be informed if this
is the case and the reason why.
Once the information has been identified the Authority may also ask that a

of any fee to be charged will be notified to you as soon as possible.
