  1. All emails that mention ‘drains’, ‘drainage’, ‘William Davis’, ‘William Davis Limited’, ‘Shelford Road’, Radcliffe On Trent’ or ‘Prince’s Place’ that have been sent or received by any and all members of the Authority, mainly in relation  to the development covered by application number 18/02688/REM or William Davis’ site on Shelford Road (also known as Prince’s Place). I specified that the time period of these emails should be 1st January 2023 to 11th January 2024.  The specific site is Prince’s Place / Shelford Road. 

I have to advise you that we will not be able to answer your request without exceeding the appropriate limit. This is because to locate and extract the information requested would involve searching for each individual word requested across the whole authority and would be likely to result in many thousands of emails just for the word ‘drains’ alone.  

Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act makes provision for public authorities to refuse requests for information where the cost of dealing with them would exceed the appropriate limit, which for local   authorities is set at £450. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 2 working days in determining whether the authority holds the information, and locating, retrieving and extracting it. The appropriate limit is prescribed by regulation 3 of the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004.

The Council may be able to provide some information in the scope of your request if you reduce or refine your request to bring the cost of compliance under the limit. As previously advised if you wish to refine your search to be a more specific subject matter ie emails received / sent by the planning department relating to drainage on the William Davis site at Shelford Road or emails in connection with application reference 18/02688/REM then this may fall within the scope of the Act.  Please contact me if you would like to refine your request or require advice on doing so.
