Response
Please see attached spreadsheets.
They all contain the property reference number, for comparison purposes.
NOTICE OF REFUSAL
The information requested in respect of telephone numbers and email addresses would require us to manually input these and would far exceed the time limit set out by the Information Commissioner therefore under S12 of the Freedom of information Act 2000 provides an exemption from the obligation to comply with a request for information if the estimated costs of complying with that request would exceed the prescribed appropriate limit.
We estimate that the costs of complying with your request would exceed the appropriate limit by a significant amount.
In addition to this many would be exempt under Section 40(2) 'personal data'.
For this reason we feel unable to comply with this request
