Request

Information requested regarding the empty homes premium.

I have attempted to find records of the council’s decisions to impose the premium on 01/04/2019 and then to reduce the empty period to one year five years later. Sadly, my search has been unsuccessful.

Therefore, I request under the Freedom of Information Act, the following documents and information:

  1. The report of the relevant cabinet member or officer proposing the introduction of the premium on 01/04/2019 and the minuted decision.
  2. The same documents of the decision to reduce the empty period to one year.
  3. The number properties upon which the premium has been levied in each council tax year from 01/04/2019, including the current year.
