Bromley Road - highway dimensions
Request ID: FOI-1711-1920
Date published: 01 October 2019
You asked
Follow-up from 1277-1920: Thank you for your email with the links to the Property Asset Register
as well as the attached GLA Roads Designation. Whilst these are interesting,
they are however too crude for the requested purpose of obtaining 'accurate
records of the whole highway dimensions' of Bromley Road (between the stated
junctions with it and Callander Rd & Orford Rd).
[a] Could you kindly make further enquiries to determine where accurate information
is held?
Could you also inform me where TfL engineers/planners will get their information
from when carrying out future works? For example, it is currently proposed to alter the
Bromley Road with key route cycle lanes.
[b] The next part of my reframed request was for copies of any legal correspondence
held by the TfL Legal Department. But this only concerns properties between (odd numbers)
169-265 Bromley Rd. Bearing in mind that TfL has only been responsible for
red routes for just under 20 years, it is difficult to envisage that significant documentation
would have accumulated.
Could you kindly let me know on what basis s12 is thought to be applicable - as it
would appear that there is a likely misunderstanding here, bearing in mind that I was
only asking for information connected to the legal department and this was a narrowed
request?
[c] Soon after sending my email which contained reference to the legal
responsibility with respect to illegal footway crossing enforcement - I discovered
the correct answer and immediately emailed your department stating that that part
was withdrawn. However, you make no reference to the email. Could you kindly
locate and confirm that you have read it.
Thank you for your help.
We answered
TfL Ref: 1711-1920
Thank you for your request received by us on 3 September 2019 asking for information about the Bromley Road, south east London following your previous request for information (reference 1277-1920).
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
In reference to seeking an alternative format for the dimensions of Bromley Road, the mileage of this highway can be found via the following link to the National Roads Database from the Department for Transport (DFT) at: https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/length-road-network-borough-and-region
Please see London’s register of roadworks LondonWorks, which shows new and updated details of proposed and current roadworks in the capital, which is run by TfL in partnership with the local authorities and utility companies:

https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/urban-planning-and-construction/roadworks-and-street-faults#on-this-page-1
In reference to why the following part of your request was refused under section 12 of the FOI Act ‘Kindly request copies of any correspondence that might possibly exist and is held between the landowners (as referred to in 1.(iii) & (iv) above) and the TfL legal department’ in regards to 169-265 Bromley Rd, as mentioned previously, the cost-limit was applied given the considerable volume of records that we would need to locate and review to determine whether this information is held, which would then need to be collated for the purposes of your request. This information is not centrally located nor do the street numbers bear any reflection on the amount of documentation that would need to be scrutinised and suitably formatted to fulfil your previous request.
Unfortunately, aside from your other FOI Request (reference 1916-1920), we have not been able to locate the subsequent email mentioned in your correspondence.
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
