Your request
Would you please supply a copy of any Conservation and/or Management Plan prepared as part of your successful 2011/13 bid to the National Lottery 'Parks for People' Fund in connection with the project involving the above Park, together with any subsequent additions or revisions thereto.
Our response
Please see attached the Conservation Statement and MMP for Kennington Park Flower Garden.
Please note that personal data has been redacted. This is because this information is exempt from disclosure under the exception in Regulation 12(3) of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs). Regulation 12(3) prevents us disclosing personal data about individuals, unless it is disclosed in accordance with both regulation 13 and the Data Protection Act.
The information is personal data as defined by the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA). As it is information about someone else I’m unable to give this to you; release of this information would constitute a breach of Principle 1 of the DPA. Principle 1 states that personal data shall be processed (used) fairly and lawfully and, in particular, shall not be used unless at least one of the conditions in Schedule 2 of the DPA is met; in this case none of those conditions have been met.
The definition of personal data is set out in provision 3 of the Data Protection Act 2018 as follows:-
(2)“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable living individual
(3)“Identifiable living individual” means a living individual who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to—
(a)an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data or an online identifier, or
(b)one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of the individual.
We note this document contains information which would allow an individual(s) to be identified which has therefore been redacted.
This response therefore acts as a refusal notice under Regulation 14 of the Environmental Information Regulations.
