FOI Request - Polyethylene Filled Panels on Buildings

Request 101003838223

I would like to make a freedom of information request regarding the presence of polyethylene-filled aluminium composite panels/cladding on buildings in Moray. I would like to know if there are any existing private or public buildings in Moray which have this material. If you cannot provide information on private buildings, please could you provide information on public buildings such as schools, libraries, and council-owned houses.

Following a review of our records there is no evidence to indicate that Moray Council have any domestic or non-domestic properties which contain Polyethylene Panels. 

Please note, this response is in relation to Moray Council owned properties only. 

Building Warrant files may contain information on external wall cladding for buildings, should this form part of a submission; however, it is not feasible to check all our records to ascertain whether this specific type of material has been used in a design and how many private buildings have this material. We would have to check each file individually, and this task would cost the Council in excess of £600 of staff time. In accordance with section 12 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (excessive cost), we are therefore unable to comply with this part of the request.
