Dear Sarah

RE: Information Request Ref No: 13654

Thank you for your FOI request and this is now being considered within the
statutory framework. The due date for a response to be issued is by
07/12/2020. We will contact you should we require further information to
be able to answer your request which will affect the above date.

Please be aware the legislation define a number of exemptions (Exceptions
for Environmental Information Regulations (EIR)) which may prevent release
of some or all of information you have requested. Your request will be
reviewed and if any of the exemption categories apply, then this
information will not be provided.

If collating the information you have requested, is going to exceed the
appropriate limit then your request will be refused on the grounds of
‘Manifestly Unreasonable’. You will be informed if there is a way to
resubmit the request so that this is within a reasonable response time
(e.g. below 18 hours for Freedom of Information), or the cost of
completing the request if you would like to pay for the work to be done.
In this event, the fee must be paid before the information is provided and
timescale will be suspended until payment has been processed. In the case
of EIR or Subject Access your request may be extended which allows
additional time to compete the request in the case of voluminous or
complex cases.

If you have any queries, please contact Information Services on 0118 974
6000 or email [Wokingham Borough Council request email].

Dear Ms Stevenson,

RE: Environmental Information Regulation Request Ref No: 13654

Thank you for your recent communication.

1. I would like to know who reported an alleged breach of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as per the letter referenced 084726 dated 30th November 2020.
We have assumed that the data provided is incorrect however, this would not change the Councils response to this request.

The name of the complainant in relation to a planning enforcement case is confidential and we do not reveal it - Therefore we are applying Regulation 13 under EIR (or Section 40 if the request is deemed to be FOI). Both exemptions relate to personal data.

We inform individuals who notify us of a breach that their identity will not be disclosed and kept confidential (unless they are required to give evidence in a legal manner). This is detailed here: https://www.wokingham.gov.uk/planning/pl... under the 'Report a breach of planning control'.

For further information on exemptions, please visit https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/gui...

If you are dissatisfied with our response, you can request for it to be reviewed by contacting the Council’s Legal Services at Wokingham Borough Council via; Information Services, Civic Offices, Shute End, Wokingham, RG40 1BN, or e-mailing [Wokingham Borough Council request email] detailing the reasons why you are dissatisfied with the response. Please address your correspondence to Shared Legal Solutions.

If you remain dissatisfied following the review, you have the option to escalate the decision to the Information Commissioner at https://ico.org.uk/

Yours sincerely
