We answered

Thank you for your emails received by us on 15 and 27 March 2017 asking for information about the architecture of Westminster Station.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked for:

- Doc 17. London Underground Space Planning Standards

Please see the attached Station Planning standard explaining further.

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) some personal data has been withheld, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the DPA, specifically the first principle of the DPA which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions of Schedule 2 of the Data Protection Act which would make the processing ‘fair’.
- Doc 18. London Underground Design Idiom
The information you asked for is available on our website using the following link: http://content.tfl.gov.uk/station-design-idiom-2.pdf

In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.
