Please note, the information we have only goes back to 2003 – but it is publicly accessible via this link.  All the information requested can be extrapolated from reviewing the planning committee meetings. 

As such we consider this information to be exempt under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 because it is reasonably accessible to you via other means. Please take this letter as a refusal notice under S17 of the Act.
