South Somerset FOI Team replied to Charles de Salis
Dear Mr de Salis,
Please find below the response to your Freedom of information request received on 19/08/2020.
We have struggled to find the information to respond to this FOI because so many officers who would have held the information have left the authority. Therefore some of the information has been provided by Councillors who cannot recall exact dates. My apologies for this.
In relation to your declaration query, we understand that the planning applications were determined prior to the visits. The visits were to see the results of the applications. In most cases SSDC paid for the visits, so there is no need to make declaration. In the case of the Fire Night, if hospitality is less than £25 there is no need to declare.
Kind regards
FOI Team
