BFOI-016220 - Custom Self-Build
FOI response explaining that information on the self and custom build register is publicly available and exempt under Section 21, with a link to the council website.
Request
Council register of custom/self build. Individuals/small developers:
- Number on register and identifier (GDPR compliant) of each registrant
- Date joined register
- Last dated communication confirming registrant is still wishing to be on register
Response
Some of the information you have requested is already publicly available and therefore exempt under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (information reasonably accessible by other means).
This information can be accessed via the Council's website.
Please see this page of the Council's website which contains information about self and custom build development in Breckland: https://www.breckland.gov.uk/article/12131/Custom-and-Self-Build-Housing.
