Request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000

Section 87 of the Localism Act 2011 requires your authority to maintain a list of assets of community value, and section 87(4) requires that the list be published. I am asking for that published list in a re-usable format.

Please provide the authority's current list of assets of community value, and its list of unsuccessful nominations under section 87(6), as a spreadsheet (CSV or XLSX), including for each entry such of the following as the authority holds: 

1. the name and address of the land or building. 
2. the date the nomination was received. 
3. the name of the nominating body. 
4. the decision, and the date of the decision. 
5. the date the listing expires. 
6. whether the authority has received notice of an intended disposal and the date. 
7. whether a community interest group triggered the full moratorium and the date it ended.

I am not asking for the personal data of any individual. Where a nominating body is an unincorporated group named after a person, please redact as you see fit under section 40 and say that you have done so.

If any part of this is already published in a re-usable format, a link is a complete answer and I would be glad of it.

If the authority considers any part of this request exempt, please answer the remainder and specify the exemption relied on for the rest.

I would be grateful for a response within the twenty working days required by section 10.
