Freedom of Information

We are committed to conducting our affairs openly and have adopted the model publication scheme provided by the Information Commissioner’s Office.

The Authority maintains a Publication Scheme that lists the types of information available and where the information can be accessed.  The Authority in particular recognises its obligations under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 to put as much information as possible into the public domain. It will, however, continue to protect personal information, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

Where possible, information will be published online and free of charge. Hard copies may be requested where this is not possible.

  • our office at Midhurst - see where to find us
  • by inspection at any of the offices by prior appointment
  • through the website, where available.
