Charges for Access to Information not available from Public
Records
The Government has concluded that
charging a fee for a personal search of the Local Land Charge
Register is incompatible with the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004(EIR) and the underlying 2003 EU Directive.
Following this conclusion the Government is revoking the current
fee by amending the Local Land Charges Rules 1977. The
amendment came into force on the 17th August 2010, in
light of this decision Wyre Forest District Council has ceased
to charge this fee with immediate effect.
In the case that a fee has been
wrongly charge by the Council, consideration will be given to a
refund where a valid and justified claim can be made and
substantiated. Each case will depend on its own facts; however Wyre
Forest District Council has noted that a search agent who has
previously passed on the cost of the fee to its customer might be
unjustly enriched by a successful claim for a refund.
Enquires in this regard should be directed in writing to Local
Land Charges, Community Assets and Localism, Wyre
Forest District Council, Civic Centre, New Street, Stourport on
Severn. DY13 8UJ
