Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information from your council. My request relates to the Right to Buy scheme for council tenants to buy their homes. Specifically, it relates to owners extending their leasehold leases with your council as the freeholder. I am asking each council in England and Wales with a housing brief in an effort to create a national picture. In each case, I understand that records may be incomplete, and if this is the case, I would like whatever figures are available, together with their dates, to give the most accurate view possible. Here is what I am requesting: 1. In total, how many leasehold extensions have been agreed since Right to Buy started? If records are incomplete on this, please also indicate what years of data are available. 2. How much has been raised from these extensions in total? Again, if this is for specific years, please also say which years are covered. 3. How many of these were 90-year extensions under the 1993 Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act? A percentage is fine. 4. How many extensions for each of the last 10 calendar years? How much was raised in total for each year? If the information is more easily available in fiscal years, please deliver it so, but please do indicate if that's the case. 5. For each year of the last 10 years, how many extensions were for leases with 80 years remaining or less? How much was raised from these extensions? 6. How much was raised from the single most-expensive extension? When was this, and how many years were left on the lease before the extension? Again, if records are patchy, please indicate whether this is the most-expensive, or the most-expensive for whatever years are available, and what those years are. 7. How much was charged to leaseholders in fees in total for these extensions? 8. Who were the parties paid the fees and how much each? If this includes law firms, please name the top five and how much each of them received. 9. How many extensions went to tribunal per year for the last 10 years and in total? How much was spent on tribunals by the council? 10. In total, what percentage of Right to Buy properties were sold leasehold and what percentage freehold by the council?

We are compiling national data on noise nuisance complaints relating to auditory bird scaring devices (propane gas guns, banger ropes etc). If available, we'd like the source data as extracts from the Environmental Health Department's database, redacted to protect confidential information. We are particularly interested in the postcodes of the alleged noise nuisance of audible bird scaring devices.
Cover period: 1. January 2015 - 30 June 2019, broken down by year Auditory Bird Scaring Devices = ABDS National Farmer's Union = NFU GENERAL
1) Does the EHD log all noise nuisance complaints (phone,email,letter)?
2) How many noise nuisance complaints (all causes) were received in cover period?
3) How many of these related to ABSD?
4) How many of those related to ABSD, resulted in an abatement notice being issued? NFU CODE
5) NFU Code of Practice specifies that farmers should register ABSD with the local council. How many guns were registered with the council during the cover period?
6) NFU Code of Practice is a voluntary code, but Councils are allowed to issue bye-laws. Does the Council have a bye-law regarding the use of ABSD?
7) Does the EHD have an internal policy for the process of investigating noise nuisance by ABSD? If yes, please supply a copy. INVESTIGATION
8) How many times was the EHD unable to investigate / act on a complaint because the owner/operator of a gun could not be identified?
9) When deciding whether an ABSD constitutes statutory noise nuisance, does the council rely on noise monitoring data, or does it accept the subjective evidence by a EHO?
10) If noise monitoring equipment is used, how many machines does the environmental Health Department have that are suitable for measuring noise emission from ABSD?
11) If noise monitoring equipment is used, which BS standard is applied? TRAINING
12) How many Environmental Officers does the Environmental Health Department employ?
13) How many days Continuous Professional Development has the team received in relation to statutory noise nuisance?
14) If the data exist, is it possible to break down outcomes of complaints (about ABSD ONLY) into how many ended in a) informal discussion with offender only b) visit to the property & subjective assessment by EHO c) installation of noise monitoring d) noise monitoring found that no statutory noise nuisance exists e) noise monitoring found that statutory noise monitoring does exists f) resulted in abatement notice g) abatement notices contested If you are able to say: - how many gasguns do you estimate are in use within the District? - how long does it take on average to deal with a complaint from ABSD?
