Where the Council would incur costs which exceed the appropriate limit to comply with a FOIA request, it may charge the requestor for complying with the request. The Council is able to charge for:
• the costs which may be taken into account in calculating whether the appropriate limit is exceeded;
• the communication costs (including the costs of communicating whether or not the information is held even if it is not to be provided); and
• staff time spent on communicating the information.
The appropriate limit relevant to the Council is £450.
Please contact the Clerk, if you have any queries or questions regarding costs/charges.
See Policies section of the website for FOI details.
