​​Request

Please supply a copy of the original report by Southampton University Hydrographic ( I think that is the institution used) laboratory on the effects of reclaiming land west of Albert which was completed before the West of Albert reclamation was started.

Response

I can confirm that the public authority holds this information.  

This information is exempt under article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011. See exemption details below.

FOI exemption applied​​

Article 23 - Information accessible to applicant by other means 

Information is absolutely exempt information if it is reasonably available to the applicant, otherwise than under this Law, whether or not free of charge. A scheduled public authority that refuses an application for information on this ground must make reasonable efforts to inform the applicant where the applicant may obtain the information.

Justification for exemption

The information is already in the public domain and is available at the Jersey Archive Centre. Quote reference D/AL/D1/3/81 when making a request to Jersey Archive.
