Freedom of Information
The Broads Authority is committed to openness, transparency and accountability. We will do our best to provide information to members of the public on request, where it is held by us and provided that there is no legal or other restriction on disclosing it.
Much of the information we hold is routinely published and is easily accessible, either from this website or by contacting our offices directly.
Publication Scheme
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires all public bodies to adopt and maintain a publication scheme for information.
This should specify:
- The classes of information which the Authority publishes or intends to publish
- The manner in which the information will be published
- An indication of the charges we may need to make in certain circumstances
Please take a look at the Publication Scheme for the Broads Authority.
Still can’t find the information you require
If you can’t find the information you want from our Publication Scheme or this website, you may submit a request for the information by contacting us directly as shown in the guidance below. We will be happy to provide the information if we can, unless there is any restriction on doing so in which case we will explain to you why we cannot provide it.
Your request may need to be considered under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and, in some cases, charges may apply for certain information which are explained in the Broads Authority's Charging for the Provision of Information Policy.
