Devon County Council believes that compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate cost limit under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. To locate information to answer questions C, D and E would require searches across numerous email accounts and to provide this information alone is anticipated to take in excess of 25 hours. The remaining information would then need to be searched across other sources. Therefore, to locate and then extract and retrieve relevant information from our records would, in total, take in excess of 18 hours of officer time.
Under the Act, there is a duty to provide advice and assistance as to how a request can be refined to fit within the appropriate limit. Unfortunately, due to the way this information is held, this is not possible for this request.
