Response
The majority of your requested information is detailed on the attached spreadsheet however, please note that data relating to sole traders or private individuals has been redacted as this is personal information and therefore exempt under S38(1)(b) FOI(S)A 2002.
For the following part of your request:-
- Empty (Y/N)
- Empty Start Date
We do not specifically record if a property is occupied or empty within our Business Rates database therefore this information is not held. However, an assumption can be made where a property receives empty relief. All current reliefs, exemptions and 2023 General Transitional Relief is shown on the spreadsheet where this has not been redacted for the reasons noted above
