Subject: Environmental Information Regulations 2004 Request – Tangshutts Field Park Public Land

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please treat this as a request for information under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR). Where any requested information is not environmental in nature, please consider it under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

I request the following information relating to Tangshutt Fields Park

  1. Copies of all documents, correspondence, plans, reports, legal agreements, emails and records relating to any easements, rights of way, licences or other legal rights granted over any part of the public land at Tangshutt Fields Park, including negotiations concerning such rights.
  2. Copies of all documents, correspondence, reports, valuations, committee reports, legal advice, contracts, transfer documents and records relating to any proposed or completed sale, disposal or transfer of ownership of any public land at Tangshutt Fields Park.
  3. Although my primary period of interest is from January 2025 onwards, I understand that relevant information may pre-date this. In particular, I request any information dating back to 2018 onwards relating to proposals for a bridge crossing the valley from the farmer’s field to Tangshutt Meadow.
  4. This includes any consultant reports, feasibility studies, masterplans, drawings, planning documents or associated correspondence. I understand that around 2019, consultant documents depicted such a bridge, and I request copies of those documents and any associated discussions.

If any information is withheld, please specify the exception(s) relied upon and explain why the public interest favours withholding the information where applicable.

If complying with this request would exceed the appropriate limit or require refinement, please contact me so that I may narrow the scope.

I look forward to your response within the statutory 20 working days.

Yours faithfully,

Sheila Oliver
