I can confirm that Essex County Council does not hold this information.

 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request information relating to long-term empty residential properties within your local authority area.

Please provide the following data:

Question 1 - The address or postcode of residential properties recorded as empty for more than 6 months.

Question 2 - The address or postcode of residential properties recorded as empty for more than 2 years.

Question 3 - The date the property was first recorded as empty (if available).

Question 4 - The property type (house, flat, maisonette etc.) If held.

Question 5 - The Council Tax band associated with each property (if available).

If full addresses cannot be disclosed due to data protection considerations, please provide the information at postcode level. I would prefer the data in Excel or CSV format where possible.

 

This information is requested for research and housing supply analysis purposes.

 

If any part of the request exceeds the cost limits under the Act, please advise how the request could be refined.

 

I can confirm that Essex County Council does not hold this information. Your request should be directed to City, District and Borough Councils who may be able to provide you with the information. Please see our webpages which should help you further.
