Response

I am writing to request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please provide a spreadsheet (Excel or CSV format) containing details of all property and land assets disposed of by the council since 1 January 2010. For each disposal, please include:
• Address and postcode
• Date of disposal
• Sale price (if recorded)
• Whether the disposal was made through the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) or was a general fund/regular disposal (please separate these categories clearly)

A: Please see spreadsheet attached. Herefordshire Council does not operate a Housing Revenue Account so all disposals would be through the General Fund.

Please also provide a list of all land and property assets acquired by the council since 1 January 2010, including:
• Address and postcode
• Date of acquisition
• Purchase price (if recorded)
• Whether the acquisition was made through the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) or was a general fund/regular disposal (please separate these categories clearly)

A: This information is publically available on Herefordshire Council’s website and can be viewed via the following link:

Council land and property assets - Herefordshire Council

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.

In addition, please provide a list of all Community Asset Transfers (CATs) completed since 1 January 2010, including:
