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. Mitigation such as “unclear signage” is submitted in free text format and is not a searchable statistic, therefore we would have to check over 28,000 appeals to see if this was a reason and at a minute at a time, this is 28,000 minutes and 466 hours.
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 the data is held, this is not possible for this request.
