Wychavon District Council receives regular FOI requests for information about business properties in the council's area. As many of these requests are for similar information we are now making the following commonly requested data available:

  1. All business properties in Wychavon District
  2. Empty Properties
  3. Properties receiving Charitable or Rural Rate Relief
  4. Properties receiving Small Business Rate Relief
  5. New accounts in the previous 3 months
  6. Accounts with credit balances

Each set of data will be updated in January, April, July and October each year.

Notes about the data:

  • The ratepayers name and correspondence address will only be shown for companies and other organisations. If the ratepayer is a person those fields will be blank as required by Data Protection rules.
  • The ratepayer is responsible for paying the rates but may not be the owner of the property. You can find out who owns a property from the Land Registry. View Land Registry pages.
  • Our property reference number is also used by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) which values property for rating purposes on behalf of the government. You can find more information about the valuation of a property, including previous rateable values, by using the property reference number on the Valuation Office Agency website. View Valuation Office Agency pages.
  • We do not disclose account reference numbers as they are personal to the ratepayer and are used to confirm identity.

Wychavon District Council will no longer publish information relating to outstanding credits on Business Rates accounts following a decision notice issued by the Information Commissioners Office. We believe that this information is exempt under Section 31(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act. This exemption applies because the release of this information would prejudice the prevention or detection of crime. Due to limited means of personal verification it is possible that credits could be claimed fraudulently and the council has therefore concluded that disclosure of this information into the public domain is no longer in the public interest.
