Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I request information on planning activities (e.g., applications, objections, appeals, enforcement notices, consultation responses, or related correspondence) held by your authority between 18 April 2020 and 19 April 2025. This request relates to the following:
• Clive Jones, Member of Parliament for Wokingham.
• Individuals sharing the surname Jones, particularly where involvement may reasonably relate to the MP.
The requestor can self-serve and search for “Jones” as a named applicant for all planning applications and planning appeals using the council web-sites advanced search functionality at:
https://planning.wokingham.gov.uk/FastWebPL/search.asp
We will not be responding to this element of the requestors request as the information is reasonably available via another means. (Section 21)
• Spouses, partners, family members, or co-inhabitants (“co-inhabitants”) at address(es) associated with Clive Jones, where planning activities may reflect household interests, even if the MP is not named directly.
The Planning service have no way of knowing who maybe cohabitating with Clive Jones MP – we will not be responding to this element of the request.
I understand that the constituency of Wokingham spans multiple planning authorities and that Clive Jones may or may not reside within your specific area. Nevertheless, as your authority covers part of the constituency in which the individual may reside, I request any relevant records falling within your jurisdiction.

Scope of Requested Information
1. Please provide details of any planning activities involving:
• Direct Involvement: Records naming Clive Jones or reasonable derivations (for example e.g., “J. Smith”, “Jon Smith”, “Jonathan A. Smith”, “J.A. Smith”, “J Alexander Smith”, “Jon A Smith”).
• Address-Based Activity: Planning records linked to addresses associated with the MP, including where co-inhabitants are named (e.g., applications, objections, correspondence) and the MP is not explicitly mentioned.
“addresses associated with the MP” is too vague a term. The Planning service have no way of knowing which addresses are “associated” with Clive Jones so unless the requestor can provide specific addresses of interest we will not be responding to this element of the request
• Surname-Based Records: If name or address searches yield limited results, include planning records involving the surname Jones, narrowed as needed to avoid excessive costs (e.g., filtering for derivations or known addresses).
The requestor can self-serve for applicants named “Jones” applicant for all planning applications and planning appeals using the council web-sites advanced search functionality at: https://planning.wokingham.gov.uk/FastWebPL/search.asp
We will not be responding to this element of the requestors request as the information is reasonably available via another means. (Section 21)
For each relevant record, please provide:
• Applications / Appeals / Pre-applications: Reference number, date(s), property address, type of application, and where applicable, a note (e.g., “co-inhabitant at [address]”) with redacted names as appropriate.
• Objections / Representations: Reference number, date, property address, summary of comments, and anonymised indicators of involvement by co-inhabitants.
