TfL Ref: 0634-2223
Thank you for your request received by us on 14 June 2022 asking for information about the London Underground Victoria line noise report provided as part of a published request seeking noise and vibration measurements taken on 12 and 13 August 2021.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked for:
the noise report that is meant to be attached here? (It's not available) https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-1270-2122 We would like to advise that your request for this particular report has been refused in accordance with TfL’s obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as required by regulation 13 of the EIR. This is because disclosure of this document, which was originally requested by an individual in relation to measurements undertaken at their property, would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle of the GDPR, which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individual has no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’. This exemption to the right of access to information is an absolute exemption and not subject to an assessment of whether the public interest favours use of the exemption.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely
