Dudley Port Supplementary Planning Document- SWOT analysis Details * Dear Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act and the Environmental Information Regulations. In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as specifically as possible. If however this request is too wide or too unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the act, you are required to advise and assist requesters. With reference to the recently published Dudley Port Supplementary Planning document, at page 8 it states "a brief summary of the analysis is provided below. the full SWOT analysis is provided within the appendices."

I am requesting the full appendices which appear absent from this document and the full SWOT analysis. Can I also request the names of all organisations which attended the event mentioned and officers of SMBC who attended ,held in the Balaji temple, Dudley road east, Oldbury on 7/7/2015, which I note does not appear to involve members of the public who actually live in the area.

I understand that under the act, I should be entitled to a response within 20 working days. I would be grateful if you could confirm that you have received this request. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future via the what do they know website address.

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request.

In response to that request, please find attached a copy of the SWOT analysis which was omitted from the Dudley Port Supplementary Planning Document.
