You asked for:

First Request:

Please could you provide the inspection notes and notices issued relating to the FSO enforcement notices at the following addresses:

  • Newark Hall Wollaton Road Nottingham NG8 1BB Issued 2020-09-25
  • Mia House, Derby Road North Circus Street Nottingham NG1 5AE Issued 2015-03-30

Second Request:

Please could you forward the Enforcement notices and survey notes for the Fortis Student Living on Maid Marian Way on 28th 06 2018

Our Response:

The information requested has been deemed exempt by virtue of section 21(1) Information reasonably accessible by other means, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

21. Information accessible to applicant by other means.

  1. Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise than under section 1 is exempt information.
  2. For the purposes of subsection (1)—
    1. Information may be reasonably accessible to the applicant even though it is accessible only on payment, and
    2. Information is to be taken to be reasonably accessible to the applicant if it is information which the public authority or any other person is obliged by or under any enactment to communicate (otherwise than by making the information available for inspection) to members of the public on request, whether free of charge or on payment.
  3. For the purposes of subsection (1), information which is held by a public authority and does not fall within subsection (2)(b) is not to be regarded as reasonably accessible to the applicant merely because the information is available from the public authority itself on request, unless the information is made available in accordance with the authority’s publication scheme and any payment required is specified in, or determined in accordance with, the scheme.

Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 is categorised as an Absolute and Class Based type exemption and therefore does not require a public interest test to be carried nor must Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service articulate the harm in disclosure.

The information requested can be accessed at the following location: Search Enforcement Register - National Fire Chiefs Council

This Letter constitutes a refusal notice under Section 17(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
