Request

I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please provide the following information in respect of non-domestic properties (business rates hereditaments) in your billing authority area that are currently in receipt of Empty Property Rate Relief or are otherwise recorded as unoccupied on your business rates register:

• Billing authority property reference
• Property address and postcode
• Rateable value
• Date on which the property was first recorded as vacant / unoccupied
• Type of empty rate relief applied (full, partial, discretionary, or none)

I would be grateful if the response could be provided in a machine-readable format — CSV or Excel is ideal.

If the cost of this request would exceed the appropriate limit set out in Section 12 of the Act, please advise on how the request might be narrowed to remain within the limit — for example, by restricting to properties with a rateable value over a specific threshold, or to properties vacant for more than a specific period

Response

The information you have requested is already publicly available on the Council’s website.
