Request for Information - WBC-FOI-00636 - Dover House Estate

I refer to your request for information received on 02 February 2023. Please see the information below in response to your request: -

1. I request a list of addresses of all the empty/void council houses on Dover House Estate (DHE)?

Please note that Wandsworth Council are unable to provide these addresses, as we have determined that disclosure of this information may lead to cases of burglary, squatting, illegal rave parties or fraud and would prejudice the prevention of crime. Pursuant to Section 31(1)(a) of the Act, public authorities are not obliged to release information that would be likely to prejudice the functions of law enforcement, namely the prevention and detection of crime. In applying this exemption, the Council have considered that whilst there are general arguments in favour of disclosure, such as promoting transparency and accountability of public authorities; there are strong arguments that weigh in favour of maintaining this exemption.

2. How many bedrooms each of the properties have?

There are currently six three-beds and one four-bed.

3. Any other relevant information regarding the lettable condition of the properties?

None of the properties are lettable.

In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, this response acts as a partial Refusal Notice.

If you are dissatisfied with the information provided in relation to your request, you may make representations to the Information and Transparency Manager. Any such request for an internal review should be made within 40 days from today's date. Correspondence should be addressed to: FOIW@richmondandwandsworth.gov.uk
